On any given Friday night, mbar longs to be at the arcade or a rock concert, but she's more likely to be patching up Victor's latest bullet hole in a dingy motel or creating a new set of fake identities for the both of them.When a tattooed mercenary kills Victor's best friend and vows that Victor is next, father and daughter set off on a joyride across Argentina in search of bloody retribution. But mbar's growing pains hurt worse than her beloved sawed-off shotgun's kickback as she begins to question the structure of her world. How much is her father not telling her? Could her life ever be different? And will she survive long enough to find out?It's kill or be killed in this gritty, devastating coming-of-age thriller from the king of Argentine neo-noir.
