From atop the majestic peaks of the San Vicente Volcano, an ancient deity snares a lonely girl on the verge of womanhood and a travelling wastrel seeking his next conquest in an eternal battle for vengeance. Dark Palms on the Horizon journeys through the heart of El Salvador — through its culture, its people, and its mysteries — as the winds of change descend upon the unsuspecting good citizens in the small village of Santa Maria.
