When his grandma locks herself in the family Toyota, demanding to be taken to an old people's home, everything in Abel's life is turned upside down. He's overwhelmed by a flood of doubts and misses his grandma's advice. He's not sure whether cookery, which he's loved his whole life, is a realistic future profession; He doesn't know what's going on with his neighbour Carolina: sometimes he thinks she's flirting with him and at others that she's just making fun of him; and his best friend is having a tough time with the bullies at school and Abel doesn't know how to help him. To top things off, his sister's anti-establishment friends support his grandma, so does his other sister and his mother ends up crying, and, of course, there's nobody to help him in the kitchen like his grandma used to. But why does his grandma want to go to an old people's home? Abel ends up finding the answer to this and all his other problems through a mysterious and highly entertaining adventure.
