“Nico Albert is a teenager with a peculiar character, exceptional intelligence and a unique obsession: chess. Carlos and Coral, concerned about the strange attitude of their son, decide to hire a child phychologist, Julio Beltrán. Through therapy and the common hobby of chess, Julio will study thoroughly the disturbing world of Nico and the complex relationships of this apparently normal family. Discovering the truth in time will be the only option to prevent the essence of evil from dominating their lives.”
