The River of Tears

Mateo Rivera returns to a town where everyone seems to fear the river. When an old lead takes him to the church archives, he discovers his family history is linked to a death years ago and a secret erased from the baptism records. Isabel Salazar, torn between inherited guilt and the hunger for truth, joins him as threats mount, witnesses fall silent, and Father Tomás hides more than he confesses. In every photograph, every lost book, and every shadow by the water, the past breathes again. But the river didn’t just take a life. It swallowed a name, a lie, and the fate of everyone who tried to forget.
