On August 6, 1956 the Grandmother from an upper-class family in Cali dies. The descendants are called to her house to hear the will of the grandmother, two of the heirs are teenagers Andrés Alfonso and his half sister Margaret, who has just arrived from the United States. At dawn of the next day, a mysterious explosion occurs in the city, so the family moves to its house in the countryside. Andrés and Margaret are asked to go to a nearly farm, "La Emma", for supplies and to tell their great-uncle Enrique about the death of the grandmother (his sister), who also left him an inheritance.
Enrique is considered the "black sheep" of the family because of his Communistic beliefs. Andrés and Margaret slowly develop a strong attraction, resulting in an incestuous relationship that mirrors their ancestors, whose ghosts begin possessing both them. The lovers start murdering and spreading terror in the region. Both become cannibalistic and vampiric creatures, similar to indigenous myths as "Madremonte".
