'A masterful meditation on power, conscience and the cost of looking away' ADAM HAMDY

Buenos Aires, 1976. A military junta rules Argentina with an iron fist. People are going missing. There are whispers of secret detention centres, of torture and murder behind locked doors.

Pablo Morales, a young priest, doesn't believe the rumours, until he hears a series of confessions that force him to confront the truth of the government's crimes - as well as the complicity of the Church.

Pablo knows he must investigate. But the deeper he explores this dangerous world, the harder it will be to ever escape it . . .
