Un joven drogadicto es enviado a los Estados Unidos a un internado para su rehabilitación, donde sufre un proceso riguroso del cual no logrará salir bien librado debido, entre otras cosas, a las presiones de las directivas, quienes emplean métodos poco ortodoxos y muy extremos en su intento por modificar las vidas de los estudiantes. La obra es narrada en primera persona, un retrato intimista donde el personaje central se enfrenta tanto a sus fantasmas propios de su adicción a las drogas, como a un amor disfuncional e imposible. El personaje en cuestión, Agustín Cervantes, describe sus sentimientos, sus angustias, rodeado de unos personajes que afectan su frágil condición adictiva, quienes tendrán un final inesperado.
Elliot's partner was his whole world, but after Allan's death, his ghost haunts Elliot's dreams. Everyone tells Elliot to move on, but he isn't sure he can.
*****
It's been a year since the love of Elliot's life, Allan, passed away. Everyone thinks he should have recovered after that much time, but Allan still haunts Elliot every night. He struggles to maintain relationships with his family, and despite a coworkers interest he can't summon up the courage to date. Elliot is living for the past, because to live for the present means he'll have to live with a hole in his heart. But the question Elliot has to face chases him through his monotonous days: is mourning Allan with everything he has truly living?
