If they find out, the gods (or is it the priests?) will only be satisfied with the removal of his beating heart atop the Pyramid of Kukulcan.Skullman, the high priest, has worries of his own-drought, war, unrest among the people, Screaming Jaguar and Sharp Claw scheming to overthrow him Perhaps the offering of an innocent youth would appease the gods and bring peace and harmony to the city.The boys' only desire is for calm and prosperity to return to their land. Their actions may determine not only their own fate, but also that of the entire community.
