Summary
Barbara, recently deserted by her husband of five years, discovers a Conquistador in her living room.

Through him and a maze of real and imaginary characters--including her best friend Diversion, a Mayan Ancient, and a very familiar guitar player--Barbara sorts through the leftovers and finds her Duende.
