Synopsis
It’s Semana Santa (aka Holy Week) in an otherwise peaceful European town, but not everyone is being pious. A serial killer is on the loose and terrorizing the residents at a time when religion is front and center in everyone’s minds. But it’s hard to keep the faith when lives are in danger, especially for Maria Delgado (Mira Sorvino), the Spanish detective assigned to the case. Will she be able to stop the bloodshed before week’s end?
