In the heart of the Caribbean, a small island nation lived for three decades under the iron grip of one man. Rafael Trujillo, known as "The Goat," transformed the Dominican Republic into his personal fiefdom through a terrifying blend of charisma, brutality, and psychological manipulation. His reign created a society where everyone - from the highest government minister to the humblest farmer - lived in constant fear, where a wrong word or misinterpreted gesture could mean torture and death. What happens to the human soul under such conditions? How do ordinary people survive when morality itself becomes dangerous? And what scars remain decades after the dictator's fall? Through interwoven timelines and multiple perspectives, we witness how tyranny corrupts not just political institutions but the most intimate human relationships. The story unfolds through three narrative threads: Urania Cabral's return to confront her father after 35 years of self-imposed exile; Trujillo's final day alive as he confronts his declining powers; and the conspirators who, despite years of loyal service to the regime, have decided the dictator must die.
