An Ancient Bridge Collapses Over a Gorge in Peru, Hurling Five People Into the Abyss. It Seems a Meaningless Human Tragedy. but One Witness, a Franciscan Monk, Believes the Deaths Might Not Be As Random As They Appear. Convinced That the Disaster is a Punishment Sent From Heaven, the Monk Sets Out to Discover All He Can About the Travellers. the Five Strangers Were Connected in Some Way, He Thinks. There Must Be a Purpose Behind Their Deaths. but Are Their Lost Lives the Result of Sin? ...Or of Love?
