Rafael Vega led en smertefuld død. I et topsikret hus i et velstående boligkvarter i Sevilla bliver han fundet død på køkkengulvet. Tilsyneladende har han frivilligt drukket kaustisk soda. I hånden har han en papirlap med ordene: "... den tynde luft I indånder fra 9/11 indtil alting..."På etagen ovenover ligger hans kone kvalt. Alt tyder på, at Vega først har dræbt hende og derpå begået selvmord. Inspektør Javier Falcón er overbevist om, at det drejer sig om mord, og at motivet og nøglen til opklaringen ligger i Rafael Vegas liv. Ifølge vidner var Vega en hjemsøgt mand. Hvad var det, der plagede ham? Spøgelser fra fortiden eller farlige alliancer i nutiden? Møjsommeligt begynder Javier Falcón at danne sig et billede af den døde, en mand på flugt fra sig selv, en mand med flere identiteter.
