Carismático, seductor e irresistible, tocó de un modo intenso y profundo las vidas de todos aquellos que lo conocieron. Con su suicidio se abre un misterio insoportable. ¿Qué lo llevó a quitarse la vida? Las claves, intuyen Joaquín y Valentina, acaso se hallen en los registros de la infinidad de proyectos que emprendió: apuntes sueltos de la adolescencia, notas para una novela inconclusa, relatos de sus originales, encendidos y atrevidos juegos sexuales, y especialmente los posteos que hizo en Londa. ¿Qué es Londa?
