Overview
Manuel lives with his father, Ricardo, on the family's hunting estate. Manu is a special boy with a strange connection to the mountains that makes him the best hunter in the area. But he no longer wants to kill. An accidental shooting that nearly kills his best friend, coupled with the suspicion that his father is a murderer, compels him to flee the estate to free himself. He soon learns that his unerring aim is the only thing that can prevent Ricardo from being killed.
