It had been years since detective García hung up his badge and retired from the police force. He enjoyed the tranquility of his life without risk, until one call changed everything. A criminal was sowing panic in the city, challenging the authorities and flouting the law. Without a second thought, García returned to the police station. With each step he took in the investigation, he relived moments from his past as a detective. But this criminal was not making it easy for him; he was really difficult to catch. However, one day, he made a serious mistake that allowed García to find his whereabouts at the top of a skyscraper, where he finally apprehended him.
