What's it about

In 19th-century Álava, as the Third Carlist War draws to a close, several women are found strangled on the outskirts of Vitoria. Ángela Berrosteguieta seeks justice for her sister and confronts the illiterate peasant Juan Díaz de Garayo, while chief constable Pío Pinedo hides the growing wave of murders under pressure from the authorities.
