After 20 years, he has assumed the safety of his family and himself is not in question. His family knows nothing about his former life, so he is doubly troubled when he is contacted by a group seeking his help with a planned money heist, or else. The dilemna he must face will set off a chain of events that keep the pages flying and Pascual racing from one bad guy to the next, just trying to stay alive.
