Plot summary

A young actor living in a nameless Latin American country joins Diciembre, a guerrilla theatre troupe. They plan to perform in a politically controversial play titled The Idiot President. The play's author, Henry Nuñez, was previously jailed for the original production. Nelson immerses himself in the world of the play, performing in taverns and city squares, until the tour brings the trio to the hometown of Rogelio, Henry’s former cellmate and confidante. Henry’s past and Nelson’s future converge, setting the stage for a fast-unraveling mystery of role-playing and retribution.[1]
