Marta Díaz Aponte, a city-born caretaker working in Hayatozca's sole orphanage, is met with the grim sight of a young man found dead in the playground with strange marks on his neck. Terrified, yet determined to keep her orphanage safe, she teams up with a paranormal investigator who is as mysterious as the killer she seeks.
Her fiery resolve may be both a blessing and a curse, as she unearths secrets buried within the rural town she calls home, grows closer to her scarfed collaborator, and faces a supernatural murderer threatening both her loved ones and her sanity.
