The Pact

Violent crimes have risen year after year on the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. Drug dealers are the main culprits, and communities in every corner of the island are at their mercy. With no respect for life, they kill one another and anyone caught in the middle. Prosecuting them should be easy, because they kill in the light of day and in front of plenty of witnesses. Yet law enforcement agencies have failed, the justice system has failed, and people have become numb to the news of murders committed each day.After a crime has been committed against a loved one, Diego and four childhood friends reunite by the bond of a pact they made as teenagers during the 1980s in Puerto Rico. Together, they will seek a kind of vengeance that will make other drug dealers think twice before taking another life. Against all odds, they are able to accomplish what they set out to do, but not before learning that someone else with much more power and much more to lose is also responsible and needs to be punished as well.
