Bart, un gringo con la faccia da latino, varca la frontiera a Tijuana, scendendo in Messico per l'ennesimo incarico che svolgerà con la consueta indifferenza: uccidere un uomo che potrebbe minacciare gli interessi di una multinazionale farmaceutica. Ma a Tijuana arriva anche un battagliero videogiornalista italiano. Leandro, e le loro strade fatalmente si incontrano. Da una parte il cinismo dell'esecutore professionista, dall'altra la passione ferita ma non piegata dell'utopista: eppure scatta qualcosa di simile a un rapporto, a una complicità sotterranea.

A questo autore dall'inconfondibile vena pessimista e cruda, dall'originale scrittura raffinata e apparentemente naturale, tratta dal linguaggio parlato, ma piena di intrusioni e slanci d'autore, appartiene una serie di romanzi dimenticati, a metà tra il romanzo criminale e il western.
