About The Minions of Midas

Set in modern day Madrid, the story is inspired by Jack London's short story The Minions of Midas. Victor Genovés (Luis Tosar), an influential businessman, suffers a strange blackmail: if he doesn't agree to pay a large sum of money, the self-styled Midas Favorites will kill a person at random at a designated place and time and add a new victim periodically until they achieve their goal. How many deaths will Victor be able to carry on his shoulders?
