Five years after giving up his powers, Leo San Juan is accompanied by Nando on his way to Veracruz, when an ancient local curse strikes. This time Leo has no powers, no friends, no time, and apparently no opportunity.

Leo must get Xochitl from the underworld where Charro Negro cast her. Meanwhile, Xochitl, Evaristo, Finado and Moribunda have gotten out of Charro Negro's prison to save Don Andrés and Alebrije from an alive house.
