Veil of Santa Muerte

In the sprawling, chaotic heart of Tepito, where saints and sicarios walk the same streets, some prayers are answered in blood and wax. Alejandro Ruiz, a reluctant enforcer trapped in a violent syndicate, is desperate. His sister, Elena, is fading from a mysterious illness, and his debts to a ruthless cartel boss are coming due. In a moment of despair, he kneels before a shrine to Santa Muerte-the Bony Lady, the Holy Death-and makes a plea.

His prayers are answered, but with terrifying consequences. A blood-stained envelope of cash appears on his doorstep. Elena's health miraculously returns. But his enemies begin to die in gruesome, ritualistic ways, and the weeping black wax from the shrine starts to seep into every corner of his life. The veil between the living and the dead has been torn, and the ghosts of Alejandro's past sins-a vengeful murder, a family betrayal-are clawing their way back to demand a reckoning.

As the supernatural plague spreads, turning his sister into a vessel for the saint's chilling power, Alejandro is hunted by both his former cartel and the apparitions his bargains have unleashed. He must now navigate a world where folklore is fatal and divine justice is inseparable from damnation. To save his sister and his soul, he faces an impossible choice: confess his sins and accept mortal punishment, or embrace the terrifying power of La Flaca and become her eternal instrument of vengeance.

A dark, immersive supernatural horror, The Veil of Santa Muerte weaves Mexican folklore and urban grit into a harrowing story of faith, guilt, and the terrifying price of bargains made in blood.
