Kings fall. Kingdoms endure

Manuel López-Vidal is a regional deputy secretary and one of the rising figures in his region's politics. Elegant and self-assured, he seems destined to succeed a powerful local leader and make the leap to national politics. His career meets no obstacles until a corruption scandal emerges that points to his inner circle. The party leadership reacts quickly and starts looking for those responsible, while Manuel tries to understand how far the plot goes and what role has been assigned to him in it.
