.Un periodista se introduce clandestinamente en la celda de Miranda, en la Carraca el 10 de Julio de 1816. El joven periodista urge al generalísimo para que le conceda una entrevista, con el objeto de propagar su pensamiento anticolonialista en cierto periódico de vanguardia que se edita furtivamente en Cádiz. Miranda, viejo zorro de la geopolítica internacional desde el siglo pasado, desconfía del impetuoso muchacho, quien poco a poco se va ganando su confianza hasta que el cautivo accede a concederle la entrevista.Aquí comienza un viaje retrospectivo de la vida del generalísimo donde la vuelta al pasado, a los momentos formativos más trascendentes de la construcción del joven, del hombre, del seductor, del soldado español, del ilustrado, el desertor, el independentista, el político, el guerrero, el espía, el contrabandista, el hereje, el conspirador y el precursor, se narran para develarnos la magnitud de Francisco de Miranda, quizás por siempre el más universal de los venezolanos.
