In these stories the author seeks to portray the harsh and difficult reality of the city neighborhoods of Costa Rica, where the notion of the Tico as a good-natured and hard-working peasant has been displaced by drugs, prostitution and the insecurity they live in their habitants.
Pimps, addicts, traffickers, murderers and rapists are the protagonists of the tales that try to illustrate an existing reality, but one that is alien to the majority, who insist on perpetuating the image of yesteryear of a rural, ecological country full of good-hearted people.
