Journalist, Gabriel Martinez (Rodrigo Sepulvada) is obsessed with discovering the truth about the brutal murder of his friend and colleague Anibal Neira (Gilberto Villarroel). Neira had been researching an article about the American artist Richard Upton Pickman (Renzo Oviedo) who is renowned for his disturbing paintings incorporating the monsters of Chilean folklore. Martinez speaks to a Professor of Art (Luis Alarcon)who tells him that Pickman is in Santiago, so the journalist goes to visit him - but finds more than he bargained for as he discovers the truth about what has inspired Pickman to paint such aberrant creatures in his work.
