En los pasillos de esta novela, una mujer se repite y multiplica. Se desdobla. Una de ellas elige la renuncia y el escape; la otra permanece siguiendo su propio rastro. Algo sucede en su cerebro. En ese trance, cuando sus recuerdos, sueños y miedos se entrecruzan en un presente continuo, ellas se preguntan si el pulso de su deseo es seguir viviendo.
