  • Suíomh

    Set in the outbuilding of a monastery in a Spanish-American Republic shortly after the American Civil War(1860's).

  • Achoimre

    A group of mercenary soldiers are fighting a war in a Spanish American Republic shortly after the American Civil War. To win the war the Victor must capture a particular pass - which is dominated by a monastery, a monatery which may be of huge significance to the Catholic CHurch but which is also situated on sacred Indian ground. A decision needs to be taken - Destroy the Monastery and take the pass or....? The big question here is whether the destruction of a religious Shrine can be justified by military expediency.
