2018 - Belinda Alvarez returned to Texas for her best friend Verónica’s wedding. The farm is a place of urban legend, La Reina de Las Chicharras — the Queen of Cicadas.
In the 1950s, a farm worker — Milagros from San Luis Potosí, Mexico — is murdered in South Texas. Her death is ignored by the town, but not by the Aztec goddess of death, Mictecacíhuatl. The goddess hears the screams of the dying Milagros and devises a plan for both of them to be reborn physically, feeding on revenge and worship.
Belinda and the new farm owner — Hector — delve into the legend and realize it is also part of their fate.
