Synopsis by Jason Buchanan

An explorer in the New World braves the wrath of man and the fury of nature to transcend time and become legend in an epic adventure detailing the remarkable achievements of Eusebio Francisco Kino, better known to history scholars as Padre Kino. Despite the many obstacles in his way, Padre Kino's passion for exploration drove him to accomplish what few dared to even attempt in the New World. With Native Americans, Spanish soldiers, the Catholic Church, and even nature itself challenging him, Padre Kino's remarkable endurance and unbreakable will would eventually earn him a place in the history books and inspire future generations of explorers to take their fate into their own hands no matter what the cost.
