Plot

While the society is on the verge of a break, the streets are filled with drawings of Mexican folklore. Every day there are more and more such drawings, but it is not always possible to identify artists. Confronting supporters of the religion of Santa Muerte and even more ardent Devil worshipers are gaining momentum. And when a murder occurs in the city, the police rush into the footsteps of the criminal.

The case falls into the hands of Detective Tiago Vega, who will understand the motives of the crime, find the culprit and prove his involvement in the horrific event. Involuntarily, Tiago finds himself drawn into a whole string of strange events that reveal to him the real essence of the murderer. Tiago learns more about Los Angeles itself, whose history in the series paid much attention.

The construction of the first roads, the flourishing of evangelism, the crazy rituals of supporters of the Santa Muerte clan, and even the strange traditions of Los Angeles, which have long been erased from the memory of the townspeople – all this will plunge our detective into shock, but will not let him go astray. Even the details of the spies of the Third Reich cannot influence his decision. But when his own family is involved, he can no longer stand aside.

The series talks about the innovative approach to the magical craft, which takes roots in Latin America and continues to spread to the entire hemisphere of the Earth. When Tiago finds out about this, his first thought is to save the family – now they are in great danger, and only the main character can protect them. The magical forces are trying to separate him from loved ones, but Vega is ready for battle.
