"Clarke" arrives in the coastal town of Tiamoros at the suggestion of his boss who has a holiday home there. All is not well with Clarke but Tiamoros itself hides weirder things. One of them is Fuentes. Returning to The City, a place Clarke has known for years as a freelance sports-reporter, we are instantly shown how the shadow of Tiamoros has clung to our hero. His once-loved home town is a haunted relic of its former self, like an old man awaiting death. Fuentes and his sister track Clarke down and begin to 're-educate' him in the ways of their incestuous world.
