Guillermo Zetto has lost his ambition and decides that a career in law, like his father's, no longer interests him.

But it is here that he discovers real beauty in the entertaining and disparate characters that patronize the store.
Muy en la onda de estética almodovariana, el autor trata a todos sus personajes divertidos con entrañable ternura de manera que el mensaje del libro es una visión un poco caótica pero esperanzada sobre el género humano. Guillermo Zetto decide que no le interesa dedicarse a la abogacía, la carrera impuesta por su padre. Siguiendo su vocación, que consiste en llevar una vida oscura y mediocre, busca ocupación en los anuncios por palabras del diario local. Lo que más se ajusta a sus nulas aspiraciones de fututo es un anuncio que busca dependiente para despachar artilugios y muñecas neumáticas en un sex shop. Guillermo consigue el puesto y entra así en contacto con la más divertida y disparatada fauna de la ciudad.
