Woman in trouble comes to alcoholics hideout full of sluts and scum seeking help from ex-cop, now drinking himself to death. Apparently she got involved herself in some trouble about compromising photographs involving high ranking members of La Colonia, of which one is brother of ex-cop and they are sending cold blooded killer called Iguana to track her down and kill her. Depressed ex-cop reluctantly agrees to help her, and find himself in trouble too, but all the same hoping to destroy his corrupted brother and his crew (were authors thinking of Colonia Dignidad?). Story by Carlos Trillo is so-so, but artwork by Domingo Mandrafina is excellent as always.
