Marcos is in the business of slaughtering humans ? only no one calls them that. He works with numbers, consignments, processing. One day, he?s given a specimen of the finest quality. He leaves her tied up in an outhouse, a problem to be disposed of later. But she haunts Marcos. Her trembling body, and watchful gaze, seem to understand. And soon, he becomes tortured by what has been lost ? and what might still be saved?
