Spoilers ahead
The film opens in Mexico City, where a team of police officers bangs on the door of an apparently abandoned house. Ulises and a partner push inside and discover arcane sigils and grisly evidence of animal and human sacrifices. They are ambushed by the residents, and Ulises is forced to witness the horrific ritual: his partner’s eyes are torn out and he is decapitated. A gunshot to the leg leaves Ulises alive, but traumatized, carrying a grim warning to stay out of their way.
