Follow José Morán as he enters the hallowed walls of a monastery, driven by an unwavering pursuit of chivalry's loftiest ideals. Little does he know that his path will take a treacherous turn amidst the tumultuous upheaval that engulfs the fictional island nation of Islas e Islotes following a government's collapse. In a shocking twist, José's fate as a devoted religious priest hangs by a thread, manipulated by a corrupt and morally bankrupt religious superior who leads a secret double life.

At the same time, the innocent and vulnerable are left to face the harrowing consequences.
