«-- Estás bien, mi amor? No pasa nada,
ven --me protegió detrás de él.
--Maté a alguien.
-- Qué dices? No digas tonterías,
Abigaíl! Qué haces aquí abajo?
--Todo es mi culpa.
Abigaíl acaba de cumplir 18 años cuando se entera de que podría perder a su padre. A partir de ese momento, esta adolescente furiosa, desenfadada y vivaz nos enternecerá con sus recuerdos de infancia, sus emociones intensas siempre cambiantes, sus ganas de pertenecer y entender un mundo que le fascina y le intimida, y al que no siempre sabe muy bien cómo acercarse. En tanto, la relación con su padre se va hilando entre suturas, a veces temblorosas, pero con la certeza del amor como telón de fondo.
