Summary
The universe abhors a vacuum, and Rafael Barba abhors disorder. When a cosmic clerical error binds him to the two people he can't argue his way out of loving, he thinks he’s found his verdict—until a ghost from 2008 returns to file an appeal.
This is a state of grace
This is the worthwhile fight
Love is a ruthless game
Unless you play it good and right

Told exclusively through Barba’s internal monologue, the series deconstructs his transition from a rigid man of the law—defined by suits, statutes, and solitude—into a partner, father figure, and husband.
