Western Mexico, 1914 Ramón Cordero and his boyhood friends  join the rebel force of Pascual Orozco,  a step that leads him into a labyrinth of paths  he could never have imagined. The disappearance of Pablo, and the sudden reappearance of Estrada in Monterrey, propel Serafina and her boys across the highlands of Mexico,  in search of Ramón. Captives in the townhouse of El General, Anita and Serenito wait, years passing with no hope of rescue.  Only her strong faith in God and Ramón makes life bearable.
