In mid-90s Mexico City, five young siblings are left in the care of their grandmother after their parents suddenly disappear. As they fight to survive, the line between reality and something darker starts to blur.

After a clash with their neighbors, the siblings withdraw even further into isolation, cutting themselves off from the outside world.
