Musician Barry Sullivan drinks too much, can't keep a job, and fights with his fiery Mexican wife. Ceci, their young daughter, witnesses their fury from the shadows. The child finds comfort with plaster saints and the spirits of her ancestors-until a tragic accident threatens her body and soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGreat-aunt Pilar fears the Evil Eye and decides to intervene, taking Ceci and her family to a traditional Mexican healer, a \u003ci\u003ecurandera\u003c\/i\u003e.
