Newlyweds Randy and Amalia work at her brother’s sugarcane plantation in Veracruz, Mexico—where they are both doing their best to put as much distance as they can between themselves and their shadowy pasts. But it is precisely their ill-gotten reputations that makes Amalia’s brother turn to them for help when his son, 14-year-old Quique, is kidnapped. The men behind the crime are Los Queridos, a new cartel that has already made a name for itself based on their brutality and ruthlessness ... and for their eerily devout worship of a new saint, La Querida. However, what should be a simple hostage exchange proves to be anything but. Los Queridos have unearthed something ancient and primal, some kind of demonic, infectious force they are unleashing upon their enemies and their victims, and they intend to use it to wage the bloodiest drug war the world has ever seen. And it’s just a matter of time before our newlyweds are caught in the middle of it all, forced to be killers, outlaws, and leaders all at once if they want to live to see any kind of tomorrow.

Gabriel Urbina is one of the best writers working today. Hoping we get a season 2!

The voice actors were incredible. Production was super. A very entertaining listen.

It wasn’t my favorite story but the voice actors really brought out the story, even when I felt it was slow. They were so fun to listen to.

I’ll never trust a growl from my stomach again…

I’m apprehensive of full dramatizations. Sometimes the music is too loud, you hear every footstep, or there is just so much tedious noise distracting you… This was wall done. While the demon/monster voices could get a bit fuzzy (I listened to this in my car primarily), any other noises added to the suspense and the horror. I even got a jump scare out of this one. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a “movie in their head” and enjoys horror. (I enjoyed it more than the comics!)

Excellent, if a little over the top

Kind of embarrassed sometimes, what listening to the sound effects that reproduce at absurdly loud volumes relative to the conversations, otherwise, A++.
