A WHALE

Ingrid is a hired killer with a special power: she can use the darkness to enter a parallel world and reappear somewhere else in the real world. This allows her to get into the homes of her victims and get out again without leaving any trace. However, using this power is turning her into something that isn’t human. Ingrid acquired this power when she was a child, when a monster touched her one night. Her eyes turned black and, since then, every time she returns from the darkness she expels through her head a strange white substance which she collects and keeps very carefully in a metal trunk. Hired by a local gangster called Abasolo, Ingrid kills a man who works in the city’s Port Authority. He was the last obstacle preventing Abasolo, who has just moved to the city, from taking control of the port. The next day, Abasolo gets a visit from Melville, a smuggler who traffics with mysterious creatures taken from the sea. Many years ago, Melville and Abasolo were lovers and when their relationship ended Abasolo left the country, filled with resentment. Melville gradually built up a little empire with the port as the neurological center of his business. Now that Abasolo has come back, Melville is about to lose what it has taken him a lifetime to build.
