Set under the background of the Salvadoran Civil War, the story of the November 16, 1989 massacre of six Jesuit priests, their cook and her daughter in El Salvador. Salvadoran Army soldiers killed them at their residence on the campus of José Simeón Cañas Central American University (UCA El Salvador) in the capital city. The film juxtaposes the story of the priests, told by Jon Sobrino their surviving colleague, and one of the murderers, Jesuit-educated Lieutenant Espinoza. It's also an homage to the murdered priests and a study of the power of religious commitment.
