The novel follows undocumented migrants trying to cross the border between Guatemala and Mexico who fall into the territory of the Mara Salvatrucha. It portrays the violence and degradation of that transit northward, with the Suchiate River as the central setting, and shows how the passage of emigrants transforms local customs.
