Se narra cómo personajes ajenos al pueblo comienzan a tener influencia, alterando la dinámica cafetera tradicional de Antioquia.
At its heart, the book is the true story of Amanda Londoño, a "powerful witch" from the Antioquia region who counted among her clients presidents of the republic, governors, senators, and even the country's most flamboyant drug lords of the 1980s. Castro Caycedo himself described it as a story where the central characters are a president looking for help in an extramarital affair and a drug lord seeking advice on the path of his crimes, all guided by the witch's verbosity. The book's original subtitle, Coca, Political and Demon , perfectly captures its core themes: drug trafficking, political power, and the dark spirituality of folk magic. As the author himself noted, the testimonies he gathered went "beyond the imagination of any writer".
