Ruling with an iron fist seemed like the way to go, but when Adelita goes missing, Cruz begins to see the holes in his uncle's plans. Without stopping to check if this is a journey he is well enough to take, Cruz forsakes everything he knows to go off with Santos and Rafael in search of their missing heart. Caring becomes contagious when Tio Bruno involves himself. He gives up far too much to protect Tavita, even though there is no guarantee she's not behind Adelita's abduction. Though death is certain, when the warriors leave the safety of the village, they know there is no turning back.
