The story
What it's about
It follows Fr. Tom Carillo, a once-privileged priest who’s lost everything, as he teams up with a guilt-ridden cop, Yana Macabeo. Together, they fight to expose a deadly conspiracy shrouding the truth behind the mysterious death of Kiko Agustin, a former protege of Tom’s. As they uncover dark secrets from the drug war in the Philippines, Tom must confront his own past apathy to seek redemption and bring justice for a life lost too soon.
