After a serious accident that sends Pepa Madrigal into a deep coma, things begin to change-Encanto worries, the Madrigal's stress, the magic strains and everything feels wrong.

Misguided, vulnerable and overwhelmed with his Mamí's condition, Camilo turns to the only and hidden gang of Encanto, a group of teenage bandits who steal goods and bash up windows for kicks.

And, it's not as if its bad. Not really. Things could be worse, right? He's a teenager. This is what teenagers do. Smoking and drinking after the sun goes down and slashing a few tyres is just a right of passage, part of growing up. Besides, it's not as if his family have to know.

Then things go from bad to worse, Pepa isn't waking up, and Camilo begins to spiral down, down, down.

(Or, in which the towns favourite shapeshifter completely loses himself, and it's up to his family to bring him home.)
