    • Synopsis
    • Dora, Francisco, and Matias are thieves who specialize in stealing sacred artifacts. Their latest job is different: instead of taking a relic, they must return a centuries-old saint statue to a decaying church in Brazil’s backlands. At first, the task seems simple—until they arrive in small town and encounter a fanatical sect guarding dark secrets. As the line between faith and madness blurs, the thieves must confront their guilt before the town’s curse—or the wrath of something far older.
