The story

Dax Xenos, a ten-year-old boy in the South American country of Corteguay, witnesses the rape and murder of his mother and teenage sister by government soldiers and runs to his father, Jaime, who is with a band of revolutionaries. Jaime's men capture the government soldiers, give Dax the privilege of personally executing his mother's murderers, and then take the boy to their hideout in the mountains, where he meets Amparo, the daughter of the revolutionary leader Rojo. After the rebels oust the dictator and establish Rojo as president, Dax accompanies his father to Rome, where Jaime is to serve as an ambassador.
