In A Corrente, four childhood friends watch their lives unravel when Francisco—their shared anchor—vanishes at the start of a promising summer. Unable to bear his absence, they drift apart and leave Santa Cruz behind, until nine years later his body is discovered in the town cemetery, forcing their return and reopening old wounds. As the murder investigation brings buried secrets, lies, and guilt to the surface, the search for the truth tests their loyalty and exposes how much of the “chain” that bound them was real—and how much was just a façade.
