There is a dark place between desire and obsession ...
17-year-old Ricky Luna wants nothing more than to finish school, win the hand of his best girl, and get away from his troubling home life. But when two seemingly unrelated things pop up -- a curious midnight visit and the arrival of an enchanting sugar skull -- his world turns upside down. It's soon clear that the skull holds secrets far more dangerous than any high school adversary... and its sights are set on Ricky's soul.
Objects begin to move untouched. A mysterious death unseats the family, dividing Ricky between a new rivalry and troubles at home. Life spins out of control, careening into the shadows.
The sugar skull, it seems, has intentions of its own. Can Ricky and his friends survive? Or will the evil within consume Ricky and destroy those he loves?
