Frederic Traum, whose past won't bear scrutiny, finds Alberto Delgado, a Spanish embassy employee, dying on a street in Beirut. The two make a deal: Traum may become Delgado, and lose his own history, as long as he takes revenge on Ana, a woman in Barcelona. Living in Spain under a borrowed name, Traum plays a game of disguises in which good and bad blur, and even betrayal has rules.
