Paku Mancha is a seventeen-year-old, ordinary teenager.

The only thing that sets him apart is the large black birthmark on his face.

Everything seems normal… until the day of the incident.

In the Rocinha favela, in Rio de Janeiro, his body begins to grow out of control. He transforms into a giant nearly as tall as the Christ the Redeemer statue. Chaos erupts: helicopters circle above his head, people run, some record. Then he returns to his normal size… and is hidden.

The impossible news spreads across the world.

Paku goes from being invisible to a global phenomenon. While millions are fascinated by the “Giant of the Mark,” others call for his capture… even his death. 

And this is only the beginning!

A story that challenges everything you believe about life, death, and reality.
