Torrente is a former cop, who was dismissed from the force due to his questionable involvement in a sordid case. Now he scrapes out a living as a private detective with the hope of someday being reinstated in the police force. In missions ranging from Madrid to Marbella, Torrente must complete a variety of tasks--such as escorting an important client, deactivating bombs, and protecting beauty queens--generally with chaotic and bloody results.
