"I had sworn never to eat earth again, and now it burns my tongue and my stomach roars demanding it. The earth is full of secrets but not for me."

Cometierra has chosen two things: a new neighborhood and never to use her prophetic power again. Surrounded by strangers, she gradually emerges from her confinement and learns to navigate her new environment while awaiting the birth of her nephew, son of her brother Walter and his girlfriend, Miseria. It is precisely the latter who, seeing a profitable economic potential in Cometierra's gift, encourages her to recover the visions that allowed her to find missing people. To do so, she must solve recent and old cases, uncover secrets of her family history, and place her life in the hands of a witch more powerful than herself. She believes she can only trust Miss Ana, who guides and advises her through dreams, but she will soon discover she now has new friends and an unconditional ally: Miseria.

"I had sworn never to eat earth again, and now it burns my tongue, and my stomach roars demanding. The earth is full of secrets, but not for me."

Eartheater has made two choices: moving to a new neighborhood and not using her prophetic powers ever again. Surrounded by strangers, little by little, she leaves her confinement and learns to handle herself in this new environment while waiting for her nephew's birth, the son of her brother Walter and his girlfriend, Misery. It is precisely the latter who, seeing a profitable economic potential in Eartheater's gift, encourages her to restore the visions that allowed her to find missing people. To do so, she must solve recent and old cases, reveal secrets of her family history, and put her life in the hands of a witch more powerful than she. Eartheater thinks she can trust no one but Miss Ana, who guides and advises Eartheater in her dreams. But, she soon will discover that she now has new friends and an unconditional ally--Misery.
