Spoilers ahead
Somewhere in the jungle, a sick little girl is at the center of a tense, fragile world. The child’s father K’in and her mother Zaide Silvia Gutiérrez fret over her health as the tribe searches for a way to heal her. The village’s witchdoctor, Kayum [Adalberto Martínez], is unable to cure the illness and instead sinks into drink. In a drunken moment, Kayum utters an ominous incantation that seems to summon a violent storm, a meteor-like display of thunder and lightning. The bizarre weather seems to ripple beyond the jungle and into far-off New York, where Roger Briggs is finishing a delicate operation as power flickers around him.
