The narrative focuses on the "miserly" and "inhumane" Francisco Torquemada, an usurer who has spent years preying on the poor of 19th-century Madrid. His world of cold calculation crumbles when his young son, —a mathematical prodigy—contracts a fatal illness. In a desperate, ironic attempt to save his son, Torquemada tries to "buy" a miracle from God through uncharacteristic acts of charity, treating salvation like a business transaction.
