After Pedro Chazarreta is found murdered in the gated community of La Maravillosa, the newspaper El Tribuno hires retired crime novelist Nurit Iscar, also known as Betibú (Mercedes Morán), to move into the community and write a series of newspaper columns about the case. Together with the paper’s crime editor, Mariano Saravia (Alberto Ammann), and veteran journalist Jaime Brena (Daniel Fanego), Betibú begins investigating the murder. Using an old photograph from Chazarreta’s high school years, showing him with his classmates, the group discovers an apparent connection between this murder and a series of seemingly trivial deaths among the other people in the photograph. At the same time, Betibú must confront her emotional past with the paper’s director, Lorenzo Rinaldi (José Coronado), who is seeking to rekindle their relationship.
