Sendero Luminoso (Shining Path), a Maoist group established in the 1970s by philosophy professor Abimael Guzmán, had by 1980 launched in the Peruvian countryside a revolutionary insurrection, to which its militants attempted to recruit Quechuan peasants. When the movement's dictatorial style was rejected by most of the peasants, the guerrilla movement began a campaign of violence against the local populace throughout the Andean Region, including the April 1983 massacre of 69 people in the village of Santiago de Lucanamarca. Some 20 years later, Lucanamarca show the arrival of Peru's Truth and Reconciliation Commission to exhume the bodies of the victims in order to establish their identities and causes of death, an effort that reawakens old enmities among the still-divided villagers.

He learns the rules of coexistence from a neighboring wolf (which results in a literal pissing contest as man and beast mark their respective territories). Tyler's journey culminates in a majestic run with the wolf pack, an exhilarating sequence where, for an instant, he becomes one with the wild natural environment
