Official Synopsis:

Vanessa Ramirez, a 28-year-old employee at a beauty salon, wants to leave Mexico for greener pastures in the United States with her children, 10-year-old Lucía and 5-year-old Joaquín. With cartel violence spilling closer and closer to her doorstep every day, she seeks the help of the local coyotes—people smugglers—but is unable to afford the rising fees for their services. So, she reluctantly turns to Mexico’s criminal underworld to fund her escape and finds herself intertwined with the cartels she was so desperate to avoid.

A world of lust, greed, barbaric violence, and heartbreaking tragedy awaits her. Tragedy that will send her down the path to becoming a terrifying legend...

Jon Athan, the author of The Girl in the Attic and Am I Beautiful?, brings you a non-supernatural reimagining of the classic La Llorona urban legend in this brutal epic of extreme horror.
