    Peter leaves Ottawa and travels to northern Colombia where his half-brother was killed. He meets a street kid, is advised by Father Carriere, a priest from Quebec and Maria, who tends the victims of death squads and finally Captain Santiago, a veteran of the Korean War. They all create a picture of Peter's half-brother.
