From the very start, friendship for Gabi, Javier, Tavo, Pola, and Bimbo has always walked hand in hand with death. Hurricanes. Car crashes. Street killings. Bimbo’s grandmother never tired of repeating: “Estamos rodeados de fantasmas” — “We are surrounded by ghosts.”
But now everything is truly changing. Bimbo’s mother is killed by a gunshot. “We’ll find and kill the ones who did it,” he vows at her grave. And the others support him.
Crushed by grief, Bimbo makes no concessions in his hunt for the killers. The trail leads him to people connected to the most influential drug lord in Puerto Rico. Until now, no one had dared to stand against him and stay alive. And while the teenagers gather their strength and plan their revenge, a typhoon of unprecedented power is drawing near to the island. Everyone knows: hurricanes bring with them evil spirits—spirits that impose their own rules.
Blending mythology, voodoo mysticism, and harsh reality, Iglesias tells a troubling coming-of-age story: a friendship that is not meant to survive, the consequences of violence, the loa of the cemeteries, and those who arrive with the tide.
