Esposados, Shackled, is a psychological thriller set in El Salvador that intertwines the present with the ghosts of the civil war. Sebastián Marín, a former child soldier who now runs a rehabilitation center for ex-gang members, sees his world threatened when his lifelong enemy, Sergio Luna, returns from exile seeking revenge. When Celina, a young American student, arrives at the center for an internship, she becomes entangled in this dangerous rivalry. As secrets from the past emerge, including Sebastián's role in the assassination of Archbishop Romero, everyone must confront their deepest fears. A story about redemption, forgiveness, and the true meaning of freedom, where the most difficult chains to break are not physical ones, but those of the past.
