In New York City's Spanish Harlem, Julio and Maritza are each
searching for a path that will give their lives meaning, even if
it's shadowed by controversy. Julio is an arsonist for hire,
pocketing thousands of dollars from investors eager to capitalize
on more expensive real estate. But when he has reason to stop
setting his neighborhood ablaze and vows to change his ways,
Julio's employers threaten his life -- and the lives of those close
to him. Maritza, meanwhile, has become the pastor of a progressive
Pentecostal church -- the perfect cover for the scam she's running.
For the right price, she'll make anyone an American citizen.
With a cast of characters as colorful as the city itself,
Ernesto Quinonez brings to life a landscape we can all
recognize.
