Synopsis:
Ruy De Mendoza (Christopher Lambert) is Sheriff of a provincial Spanish town during the time of the Inquisition. Prominent Noblemen and their guards are found butchered, bloody, letters carved with a knife on their chest only for the corpses to vanish shortly afterwards and the crime scenes completely cleaned up. As Ruy investigates what is behind these heinous crimes, he finds a mystifying wall of silence, where even the widows of the murdered men deny anything might have occurred. Obsessed with uncovering the truth, Ruy finds himself in the middle of a dark and dangerous conspiracy that soon threatens not only his own life, but that of his family.
