From their stick-and-mud village high up in the mountains, the Indians can gaze across the vast expanse of Mexico, which was once their homeland. They look down upon the houses and fields where they now perform enforced labor for the mestizos and whites. Once a proud and powerful tribe, they have added their conquerors to the natural perils of the forest and jungle, famine and plague, as evils against which they and their witchcraft are powerless.
Within this bounded and embattled world, a quietly moving story unfolds. It is a tale of a tragic people caught in the tail wind of a civilization both alien and hostile to them. It is a story of brave men and lovers, of prophets and violence, of the tribal secrets that are whispered to every child and impossible to forget.
