Explore the unbreakable, yet fragile, bond between two brothers whose lives diverge dramatically, one embracing revolution and the other seeking a quiet life in America.

You’ll follow a story of family, sacrifice, and political turmoil, witnessing how the past haunts the present and how one family grapples with the consequences of a tragic secret for decades to come.
