Summary:
Detective Carlos Ibarra investigates a puzzling series of murders. Beautiful, well-dressed women are being savagely mutilated and abandoned all over the city. Estela, a reporter from a crime tabloid stumbles upon a clue tieing these murders, but she needs time before the news causes widespread panic, so Ibarra strikes a deal with the reporter. Despite warming up to one another, Estela cannot hold onto the scoop for long, as her new discoveries will test Ibarra's mettle, rushing to solve the crime and save Estela's life. Estela es una mujer divorciada, de vida privilegiada que logra emplearse como fotógrafia y reporta de el Grito, un sordido tabloide policial. Estela, que aprende su oficio soportando la burla de sus colegas, también da con la clave que une una serie de asesinatos de bellas mujeres que aparecen salvajemente amputadas por la ciudad. Pero cuando la policía le impide publicar su primicia con el asesino aun suelto, Estela se apresura a resolver el misterio sin conocer las sorprendentes consecuencias que desatará.
