Dit is een verhaal over nostalgie, liefde, schuld en misdaad. Frederico dwaalt tegen wil en dank door de krochten van zijn verleden als gevolg van een min of meer inofficieel onderzoek dat zo min mogelijk stof moet doen opwaaien, omdat er mogelijk invloedrijke figuren bij de zaak betrokken zijn.

Intussen doemen schimmen, die meedeinen op de muziek van het beroemde album van Pink Floyd, uit Frederico’s verleden op.
