Once they had a country, a culture, a future. Today, upheaval and betrayal have turned their world upside down. And for one family -- a U.S. war hero, his deeply religious wife, and their impressionable fourteen-year-old son -- a new struggle has just begun. Mano Suarez made a choice to fight against injustice, and his wife can only pray for his deliverance. Now their son, Pedro, takes up his father's cause . . . disappearing into the ranks of a cult-like organization and leaving his family far behind. To rescue him, Mano must face the consequences of his past deeds. But how can he convince his son to give up the very ideals he, Mano, embraced? How can he prove that home and family are the most important ideals of all?
