The Popinjay and the Revolution

In a time of revolution, two brothers stand on opposite sides. Is blood really thicker than water?

The year is 1868. Fernando and Ignacio are the sons of a wealthy plantation owner in the Spanish colony of Puerto Rico. Both were born to privilege, but they are very different. Ignacio lives to indulge in idle pleasures, while Fernando and his friends are plotting to overthrow the Spanish colonial government.

Then the cruel Lieutenant Marcano captures Fernando, and his family realizes the young revolutionary doesn’t have long to live. Now, Ignacio has a choice to make. He must either look past his political views to stage a bold rescue—and risk almost certain death—or give up on his brother.
