LatestCaronte is sent to prison, accused of murdering Toni after Paniagua had staged the whole thing to frame him. Marta gets down to work and, with Aurelio’s help, collects different pieces of evidence to convince the judge the commissioner had set it all up. Just when Caronte believed he’d lost all contact with Natalia, his ex reappears in Madrid to talk to him.
Caronte will make us think about justice, presumption of innocence and truth. It also talks about second chances and how a man is able to reinvent himself and get his life back together. The different cases will not only influence Caronte's personal life, but, episode after episode, will make our protagonist evolve and grow.
