Arriving to a sleepy provincial city of northern Spain from the Basque Country, a police inspector with a psychologically damaged wife tracks down (with help from the local coroner) a psychotic misogynist killer of female children, who happens to hate his job as a fishmonger and his family altogether as well.[1][2][3][4] The inspector kindles with Susana Grey, the teacher of a murdered girl, establishing a romantic affair.[5][4]
