On Isla Boa, ten people isolated from civilization, each carrying a guilty past, take part in a game of coexistence, trying to reconcile their needs, religious views and habits while the island's environment fights to overwhelm them. Hundreds of miles away, a young journalist arrives in Florida to interview the forgotten Sammy Coe, and the question is how all of them are connected. A polyphonic novel and an oblique political comment on modern humanitarianism and 'collateral damage', set against the economic crisis.
