When they just begun approaching the parents, interviewing the kids, and interchanging theories, Gabriel dies in a car crash. After his death, Lucía discovers some dark secrets pertaining this scientist, friend, protector, and mentor, making her believe the Gabriel she thought she knew never truly existed"--, Provided by publisher
