A young and idealistic priest Amarohas been serving there for many years .
Beneath the peaceful exterior of the town hides many secrets. Father Benito is quite powerful here. He has maintained a lover relationship with the innkeeper and widow Sanganari, and also laundered money for local drug dealers in the name of opening a hospital. , and he can always find a high-sounding reason for his bad behavior. Another excommunicated libertarian priest, Natalio, is a radical. The mountain farmers, under the oppression of drug dealers, cannot even grow enough food to feed their stomachs. He fights against it and supports the guerrilla movement.
At first, Amaro just watched this kind of corruption and ugliness from the sidelines, but soon he was also involved in the whirlpool of sin involuntarily. The only truly pure person in the town is Sanganari's beautiful daughter Emily, a 16-year-old innocent and devout believer in God. In listening to Emily's confession, Amaro is gradually attracted to her, the two fall in love, and Emily dumps her boyfriend Rubenwithout hesitation . Reuben is a journalist, and he has already figured out the dirty deeds of the church. Under the stimulation of jealousy, he publicly exposed Benito's scandal, causing a great uproar among the people. In fact, the bishop has heard about this for a long time, but he has always held a connivance attitude of indifference. After the incident, he quickly instructed Amaro to make amends.
Guess what, one wave has not settled, and another wave has arisen. Emily tells Amaro that she is pregnant and childishly asks him to leave the church and marry her. Amaro, who is ambitious, refuses indifferently. For him, the most important thing is to solve the trouble quickly to avoid scandal. After his coaxing, Emily goes to have an abortion. The story ends in tragedy.
