Two angels—Azrael (Manuel Raposo) and Malaquías (Carlos Quezada)—who fell out of God’s favor over thirty years ago, now work at Heaven’s behest to capture wayward souls in the dark, decaying world of Quisqueya. Abandoned by God, their only recourse is to forge alliances with the being who, like them, once fell from the heavens. It is a story of redemption, *bachata* music, and violent clashes involving pistols, knives, and machetes. It centers on a single goal: to dream of their missions once more, so they may walk the Lord’s "righteous" paths and—under His command—eradicate the evil lurking around every corner.

Arcadio (Johnnie Mercedes) is a national park ranger who took the job to avoid prosecution for a crime he committed long ago in his hometown. When he loses his dog Champ —the only thing keeping him sane—he begins to feel more like a prisoner than a park ranger.

Through intimate narrations and evocative imagery, women across the Dominican Republic reflect on their experiences with forced motherhood and clandestine abortion. What does it mean to exist as a woman in a country where abortion remains criminalized without exception?

Aura and Gael's passionate new love is quickly overshadowed by horrible news: Aura is diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumor.

Aura now faces her biggest challenge yet: to live her life with death and love knocking on her door.

The Narrator (Canek Denis) finds himself with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change his precarious lifestyle for a brand new life of never-ending lust and limitless power. But the price to pay is too high. He must surrender that which represents everything he has been up to that moment, that which defines him as a person: his ideas. He now must make a choice that will scar him for the rest of his life, much like a stain that simply cannot be removed.
