Once a week a club of crime-novel fans swaps plots for the ideal murder, each member hiding behind a fictional sleuth's name. Their leader, Paco Cortés, makes his living from cheap thrillers. When a relative of one of them dies, the friends start to suspect that the crime they have always theorised about has actually happened, and fear spreads among them. Their game becomes a question about justice and vengeance: whether a quiet life is possible when wrongs go unpunished.
