Synopsis "Xlp el Mundo Paralelo de un Desquiciado (in Spanish)"

Un hombre enfermo huye de un siniestro hospital y camina desorientado y a duras penas por la ciudad, donde logra entremezclarse en una masa de gente que se ha apoderado de las calles para manifestarse. Sólo con el pasar del tiempo logra dimensionar bien las demandas, a la vez que comienza a recuperarse de su situación amnésica y a procesar todo lo que está pasando en sus propios términos: como humanidad, estamos en guerra contra un grupo de alienígenas -más precisamente reptilianos- que buscan establecer su reinado del terror, los mismos extraterrestres que lo han perseguido a él durante toda su vida. Aquí es donde comienza un trayecto que cruza por mundos posibles, por fragmentos de recuerdos que empiezan a crear una memoria de todo lo acontecido, logrando de paso denunciar con una constante ironía las problemáticas de un país poco conocido, donde se viven situaciones que no resultarán muy lejanas para gran parte de los lectores. Encontrando rostros amigos durante su trayecto, viviremos el ascenso y decadencia de un sujeto que accidentalmente, gracias a las redes sociales, se convierte en un profeta loco e intenta darle un sentido a las extrañas situaciones que está viviendo.
