What happens in Shadows from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 13 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 5-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
Alma and Alex are two young girls living with their mother in an abandoned hotel deep within a forest, a place that feels both secluded and watchful. Their world is carefully curated by the woman who raised them, a figure they know as Mami Caban Awilda Santana. She has woven a stark belief that humanity has vanished and that they must endure in isolation, teaching them about medicinal plants, how to read the land, and which sounds signal danger. Daylight itself becomes a threat in her telling, and the rulebook she writes out in faded ink is explicit: stay inside during the day, never draw attention to the outside world, and rely on the rituals she has set to keep them safe.
