Renato, a corporate figure working for an aviation company in San Miguel, receives a urgent call from Katherine: his father Flavio is seriously ill and wants to see him. He arrives in Chicago with mixed emotions, carrying resentment for Flavio’s absence after immigrating to the United States twenty-five years earlier. There, in a tense moment, he meets Asher and soon learns that Flavio was his half-brother. Before Flavio passes away, he entrusts Renato and Asher with a mission: deliver an envelope to a man named Evaristo, which is meant to point them toward a clue about someone called Eloise. Renato, feeling overwhelmed, lashes out at Flavio in the hospital, storms out, and later, after attending Flavio’s wake, reluctantly agrees to finish the task.
