Premise
Marco Mur (Mario Casas) is a successful businessman, the CEO of ALVA, a tech company about to launch an innovative prototype of electric car,[1][2] in which he works together with his friend Diego (Jon Arias) and Bárbara (Bruna Cusí). A newcomer, the ambitious Eva (Silvia Alonso), joins the company.[3][4] Marco is however introverted and emotionally blocked.[1] Dependent on his psychologist Sara (Miryam Gallego), Marco's only mental escape routes are sport and a private club where members receive sexual pleasure and give free rein to their erotic fantasies.[3]
Marco has an autistic younger brother, José (Óscar Casas),[n. 1] interned in a specialized center where the only person able to connect with him is Carol (Ingrid García-Jonsson).[4][6]
