Gabriela is an eliminator, an assassin traveling through time to prevent the intercorporate wars. And save her son.
Although she adores the era's music, the memories accompanying the time jumps are painful, her questioning of her employer's motives increases, and a masked man pursues her. She refuses to kill a scientist whose work seem crucial to humanity, and she is extracted back to the present, 2059.
