Noel Villalta apparently has everything: love, money, social standing, friends… but despite this he can’t help feeling that something is missing. He can’t find himself. Sick of the way his life is going, he starts to commit seemingly senseless acts, even at risk to his own life. During one of these, Noel suffers a serious motorbike accident and loses his hand and forearm. Unhappy with the solutions being offered to him by his doctors, Noel becomes obsessed with the idea of having a transplant and, ignoring the opinion of the experts, he puts all his efforts into trying to become the man he once was.
But, from this moment nothing will ever be the same again. A terrible suspicion casts a shadow over his mind, transforming his behaviour and Noel begins to discover that he isn’t the man he thinks he is.
