Mr. Firme pairs the narrative with a parallel tale of medieval friends, 'Tomasso y Jose Maria, ' who travelled across southern Europe from Sicily to 'Santiagu.' Despite the distances and obstacles, the two pairs of Camineros kept going. Firme connects the four characters with the pleasant places and landscapes shared with pilgrims of the 'Way' from as early as the sixteenth century.

Tomas Jose unfolds their journeys with naive perpective, personal and third person anecdotes, and scenes with art, architecture, and history in his debut as a storyteller.
