Nina and her cousin Milo are eleven years old and live in Buenos Aires across from Rosedal Park, where they often go to play. There they meet Gudrek, a homeless man who lives in the park with his dogs.

Nina and Milo dream of learning to fly and communicate telepathically; whenever they visit their grandfather Tato, who lives in Colonia, across the river, they practice telepathy exercises with him.

One day, the neighborhood dogs mysteriously disappear; Gudrek loses one of his, and Nina and Milo decide to help him find out where it is and what happened to the other dogs.

Nina begins to have nightmares, in which she senses some clues that will guide them to unravel the mystery of the disappearances.
