    Marisa, a young professional in Madrid, has built a fragile persona to survive the monotony and small humiliations of corporate life. She hides at work, seeks refuge in art and substances, and rests on a shaky foundation of stolen credit. When a mandatory company retreat in the Segovia forests forces her into close quarters with coworkers and retreat staff, isolation and pressure push her toward risky impulses and a personal unraveling. The novel is a darkly comic exploration of identity, boredom, and self-deception.
