Santo is a respected religious clockmaker and moneylender in his village. He exploits families in debt by using charm and kindness.

His latest victim is Cira, an 11-year-old blackberry picker whose mother has pawned their home and land. After Santo's death, Maria Luisa, one of his victims, with the help of Fernando, his childhood friend and lawyer, fights for justice.
