Year 1928. Ciénaga, Colombia. During the second week of the Great Banana Strike, the rules of life have changed: Closed shops, railroads blocked, roadblocks demanding travel document. Nevertheless, Norma Landinez travels there to care of her wounded husband – a wealthy landowner with ties to the United Fruit Company, the American multinational involved in the protest's disparagement. But soon after settling in, disruptive supernatural events will start undermining Norma's sanity as a wave of suicides breaks out in the region.
