On a remote estate in coastal Ecuador, an aging patriarch rules over a sprawling Montubio clan bound by blood, violence, and superstition. When his ruthless grandsons turn their attention to their cousins, a brutal crime threatens to shatter the family’s lawless world.

The Zuquillos are four women who have worked for several years in a popular grocery market in the city of Quito, a place where they have cultivated a great friendship. One day, the entire market collapses due to its dire conditions, leaving the main characters without a place of work and in an agonizing situation about their future. So Charo decides to migrate to the United States, where his sister lives, but they deny him a visa at the American consulate. Desperate, she goes to a smuggler and asks him to make her enter the northern country illegally to achieve the American dream.

In a remote tropical village where superstition, ritual, and desire intertwine, ancient forces awaken beneath the surface of everyday life. As tensions grow between faith and ancestral magic, passion, jealousy, and violence begin to spiral through the community. In this feverish landscape of fire, moonlight, and serpents, destiny moves in cycles that no one can escape.

A conflicted mestizo man in Quito rejects his roots and tries to pass as part of the white elite, building a fragile identity based on appearances. As his ambitions clash with reality, his relationships and sense of self begin to unravel.

The life and work of Gabriel García Moreno, one of the most controversial presidents in the political life of Ecuador. For some he is a saint but for others he is a devil.
