El hallazgo de un cadáver en el pantano de Olba pone en marcha la narración. Su protagonista, Esteban, se ha visto obligado a cerrar la carpintería de la que era dueño, dejando en el paro a los que trabajaban para él. Mientras se encarga de cuidar a su padre, enfermo en fase terminal, Esteban indaga en los motivos de una ruina que asume en su doble papel de víctima y de verdugo, y entre cuyos escombros encontramos los valores que han regido una sociedad, un mundo y un tiempo.
