In a land with strong traditions and concepts of heritage, Luiz has his fathers bullfighting legacy on his shoulders. Straight is there to watch this bullfighter as he is promoted higher into a “Matador” status but there are some concerns as to whether he is ready. The glorification of the senior matador is understandable after his untimely death but opens up questions in Strait’s mind as to the secret dealings behind the scenes in Luiz’s life. With Straits inquisitive nature comes a discovery that would change the Rivera family forever.
