When New York City PI Filomena Buscarsela takes her teenaged daughter, Antonia, to see their extended family in Ecuador, it's more than a homecoming. Before she's even had time to adjust to her new surroundings, a priest is murdered - a man who, years ago, saved her life and helped her escape to the United States. She owed him her life; now it's time for the debt to be repaid. Filomena's investigation promises to lead her back to the very people she escaped, all those years ago. Filomena becomes a fugitive from the law, racing toward a climactic confrontation.
