When Alonso's mother is assassinated by leftist revolutionaries, his whole life falls apart. His father begins drinking too much and Alonso, confused and full of rage, must care for his young siblings alone. He needs help-and the only people offering to lend a hand are the terrorists of the Shining Path, the very people who killed his mother. Alonso is faced with an impossible choice: he cannot possibly join the Shining Path, but how will his family survive if he doesn't?
