David Jiménez va ser nomenat director d'El Mundo. La il·lusió es va anar transformant en una crua batalla per defensar la independència del periodisme, que va acabar amb l’acomiadament del director després d'un any en el càrrec. Jiménez destapa aquí la podrida xarxa de pressions i influències que s'estableix entre els grups de poder econòmic i polític, i la premsa que suposadament ha de vigilar els dos primers. El director és un relat únic sobre com funciona el joc de favors entre els mitjans i l’elit d’un país, i quin preu paguen els que es neguen a participar-hi.
