El escritor Alejandro Menéndez ha desaparecido tras un viaje a Gerundia, su tierra natal, para recoger un premio. La única pista que se tiene de él es una obra enviada por correo a su editor junto con un misterioso telegrama.A lo largo del escrito, Alejandro recorre en paralelo el presente y el pasado, recordando su tormentosa época en la tierra de su niñez y su juventud, las relaciones familiares y los amigos, su angustia vital y su resurrección, mientras se va viendo sorprendido por una serie de acontecimientos, que se desatan, unos tras otro, explotando, como la erupción de un volcán, en un final imprevisible, tan dramático como liberador, que cierra un recorrido real por una generación que perdió la vida buscando conquistar la importancia en sus diferentes manifestaciones mientras se olvidaba de lo más importante.
