One day while walking on the beach at daybreak, Elena Arbués, a 27-year-old bookshop owner, finds one of these scuba divers passed out among the sand and water. As she comes to his aid, the young woman has no idea that her resolve will change her life, and that love will only be part of a dangerous adventure.
