Seven linked stories circle the killing of María Berenice, healer and witch, in Santa Bárbara, a town rotted by graft and bloodshed. A detective, an apprentice, travellers passing through and the people who brought the town to ruin each tell a part of the tragedy, amid superstition, grief and solitude, testing how far justice and revenge can go.
