## Plot summary

At his sister's quinceañera, some downbeat organ music is playing at this unique and horror-themed 15th birthday party.

Tico, who is Renaldo's uncle is extremely impressed with what his nephew and his creative team consisting of Úrsula, Tati and Andres and suggests his nephew that perhaps he should do this full-time

Before the group even has a name, Renaldo is contacted by Father Francisco about a project at Santo de la Guardia orphanage. Once there, the priest goes onto explain how the church has new Priest, Father Antonio Valenzuela, who is robbing Francesco’s spotlight!

So, Francisco proposes staging an exorcism to revitalize interest in the church and his own abilities. Unfortunately, Francisco explains how the devil hasn’t possessed any orphans, so they’ll need a news personality, some dry ice and other gimmicks to make it work.

They find a news personality, Gregoria Santos, who is revealed to nearly be an automaton. In any case, she is attending a “Boingo party,” which is a chance at promoting the exorcism. At the party, they give Gregoria a prop head that looks exactly like Renaldo and tell her that the man was decapitated by a possessed child.

They pull off the exorcism nicely with a rope and pulley system, so the possessed girl can “fly”. Then, the flying rotating girl’s performance is enhanced with a light show, some vomit, and Francisco’s theatrics. At the end of the day, Father Francisco gets his story! After someone calls them, they come up with the name “Los Espookys”. As it turns out, their next project will involve a classic haunted house/inheritance scheme.
