Jay Reguero learns that his Filipino cousin Jun was murdered as part of President Duterte's war on drugs, and no one in the family wants to talk about what happened.

Jay is forced to reckon with the many sides of his cousin before he can face the whole horrible truth-- and the part he played in it.
