La sargento Ivet Portabella investiga la muerte de una joven que aparece colgada dentro de una misteriosa esfera de ramas que pende de un árbol. Al mismo tiempo el asesinato de un alto cargo económico alemán con un tajuaje en la ingle reabre un viejo caso que alguien no quiere remover. En la otra mano de la baraja, Édgar Brossa, periodista freelance en horas bajas que malvive en el subsuelo social de Barcelona, acepta investigar la desaparición de un novelista que tenía el mismo tatuaje que el banquero, una tosca inscripción con la palabra OTOÑO.
