Vic Lucero and Gus Liloan grew up in an exclusive boys' school in Manila, the Philippines and remained friends until Gus Liloan went to America. The two eventually lost contact. When they meet again in 1973, Vic Lucero is a henchman of the general tasked by the brutal dictator Ferdinand Marcos to enforce dictator Marcos' whims and caprices and to satisfy his lust for wealth and power. This appalls Gus Liloan and the two go their separate ways, living their own lives, but they remain friends. After the People Power revolution in the Philippines in 1986 that toppled the Marcos tyrannical government, a posse is formed to catch and prosecute the soldiers who were the main instruments of torture of Marcos's perceived and real enemies. The rest of the book relates what happens to the two friends, the posse and the ex-soldiers during the cat-and-mouse chase. In the end, Gus Liloan finds his way back to the Philippines, fulfilling his dream of spending his retirement years in the land of his birth.
