A rope bridge in Peru snaps and drops five strangers to their deaths, and a friar who witnesses it spends years investigating each life to prove the disaster was God's plan and not an accident.

There is a land of the living and a land of the dead and the bridge is love, the only survival, the only meaning.
The Bridge of San Luis Rey, Thornton Wilder
