Ruy de Mendoza, a rugged yet honest sheriff of a XVI century Spanish provincial city, discovers a series of brutal and perplexing murders of high ranking nobles. These prominent people and their bodyguards are slaughtered with unusual violence, large letters are gruesomely carved on their chest with a knife. Before our hero can confirm with the widows the identity of the victims, the butchered bodies vanish without a trace and the crime scenes re cleaned spotless.

As the murders continue, so does Ruy's fierce determination to unearth the truth. Following clues he finds on the victim's bodies, including a suspicious old scroll with a list of puzzling names and a set of old rusty keys wrapped in precious velvet, Ruy seeks in the victim's past for the keys to this baffling mystery. But as he gets deeper into this mystery, things start getting dangerous.

Some secrets are best left untouched.
