In There Be Dragons, London-based investigative journalist Robert Torres (Scott) travels to Spain to research a book about Josemaria Escriva (Cox), the controversial founder of the Catholic institution Opus Dei. Robert's visit is on track until he hits a wall, both professionally and personally, when his most promising source—his own father, Manolo Torres (Bently)—turns out to be his least cooperative one. Robert begins to unearth his father's toxic secrets when he learns that Manolo was not only born in the same Spanish town as Josemaria, but that they were childhood friends and attended the same seminary. The two men take radically different paths in life, with Josemaria dedicating his life to his faith while Manolo is swept into the brutal tumultuous Spanish Civil War. As Robert continues to explore the secrets of Josemaria's lie and Manolo's mysterious anger, their overlapping journeys are revealed. (Gary Reber)
