Una fascinante novela histórica con tintes románticos ambientada en el Bilbao de finales del siglo XIX.
El 21 de febrero de 1874 el ejército carlista pone cerco a la ciudad de Bilbao. En ella se encuentran Javier Garay, un fotógrafo de retratos eróticos, e Inés Otaola, una planchadora que ha perdido su trabajo.
Sin embargo, las aspiraciones de Javier no pasan por quedarse encerrado en la ciudad sitiada. Tampoco Inés sospecha que el fotógrafo es su oportunidad para recuperar lo que nunca debió haber perdido.
Un perfecto retrato de las aspiraciones y fracasos de los hombres y mujeres de finales del siglo XIX, un alegato pacifista en una época de cambios donde la fotografía se convierte en testigo del horror y la pasión.
