Uncovering a cult in the Guatemalan jungle becomes an obsession for ambitious journalist Pixie, before she is pulled in too deep and must fight to escape.

SYNOPSIS:

Pixie is a hungry, driven young journalist on the hunt for a story only she could ever possibly tell. Nothing will stop her from getting her By line. Her mother sees this, and, with a heavy heart, hands her the key to an old family secret that will shake Pixie’s life to its foundations.

Pixie lands in Guatemala to track down her aunt, Brida, who disappeared almost 30 years ago, somewhere in the dense jungle surrounding Flores. She comes across a journalist, Pedro, who has been tracking down mysterious disappearances of young men in the area. The men turn up again, only to kill themselves before they can reveal where they’ve been kept for months and often years at a time.

They track down Brida, and slowly Pixie is pulled into the cult-like commune Brida has established on a hill in the jungle. At first, it all seems ethereal, grand, peaceful… but when Pedro joins her, things take a turn.

Pedro seemingly goes back home to Flores, but there are fires burning in the jungle, there is blood on white dresses, there are sounds coming from the upstairs bedroom.

Pixie devolves more and more, buying into the cult, becoming a part of it, until a bloody rope by a sacrificial stone snaps her out of it.

She mounts a daring rescue for Pedro, which nearly costs them both their lives.

When they return to prosecute the cult, however, they find only memories, and a promise that Brida has not stopped and will not stop.
