Moving to Rodolfo's remote countryside estate, Hacienda San Isidro, Beatriz experiences cold spots, nocturnal whispers, and visions of his late first wife.
When Rodolfo departs for Mexico City, the estate's malevolent presence escalates. Trapped inside the haunted hacienda, Beatriz seeks help from Padre Andrés, a young parish priest practicing indigenous curanderismo folk magic, to perform an exorcism and confront the estate's colonial dark history.
