Payatas, a 50 acre dump in northeast Manila, is home to thousands of people who live off what they can scavenge: recyclables, broken electronics and even half-eaten food. It is one of the poorest neighbourhoods in a city whose law enforcement is stretched thin and rife with corruption. So when the eviscerated bodies of preteen boys begin to appear in the trash heaps in the rainy summer of 1997, there is no-one to seek justice on their behalf, no-one to care - until two Jesuit priests, forensic anthropologist Father Gus Saenz and his protégé Father Jerome Lucero take 5the matter of protecting their flock into their own hands.
