Ever since she was very young, Eury has been accompanied by a spirit, Ato, that no one else can see, but who can bring destruction on those she loves. Ato wants Eury to come and live with him in his paradise, and he has been making his life miserable, even suggesting that he was responsible for the hurricane. Moving first to Tampa, Eury continues to be plagued by Ato, so her mother moves again, this time to the Bronx. For a while, Eury is content, and Ato seems to have lost her.
