On a black night like no other, the devil took flesh in the City of Kings when, in the convent of Santa Clara, a novice gave birth to a horrifying beast with two heads, a forked tongue and eight limbs. The birth of the creature coincides with the appearance in the capital of a woman named Rosa, who, it is said, is capable of speaking with God and the Devil.

In a city mired by crime and corruption, devastated by bad omens and winds of uncertainty, Alonso Morales, a rookie sheriff of the Holy Office, will bear witness to the arrival of the Evil One as he discovers how difficult it is to distinguish the paths that separate the good. of evil
