When, on his fifth wedding anniversary, Julio gets back home & his wife is nowhere to be found, he feels an omen of doom. From this point forward, the author takes the reader on an increasingly frenzied search for his wife & through the searing abyss faced on a daily basis by those attached to somebody who has grown tired of living.

When all else fails, the power of love once again turns out to be the only way out. ...
