description: Five of us sat in a circle doing our best to emulate the girls in The Craft hoping to unleash some power to take us all away from our home to the place of our dreams. But we werent witches. We were five Chicanas living in San Antonio Texas one year out of high school. One hot summer night best friends Lourdes Fernanda Ana Perla and Pauline hold a sance. Its all fun and games at first but their tipsy laughter turns to terror when the flames burn straight through their prayer candles and Fernanda starts crawling toward her friends and chanting in Nahuatl the language of their Aztec ancestors. Over the next few weeks shy modest Fernanda starts acting strangelysmearing herself in black makeup shredding her hands on rose thorns sucking sin out of the mouths of the guilty. The local priest is convinced it's a demon but Lourdes begins to suspect its something elsesomething far more ancient and powerful. As Father Moreno's obsession with Fernanda grows Lourdes enlists the help of her bruja Craft crew and a professor Dr. Camacho to understand what is happening to her friend in this unholy tale of possession-gone-right.
