Plot summary
In 1984 the atheist Briseño family leaves the United States for Durango, Mexico, and moves into a manor whose previous owners died mysteriously. Karem, the youngest of the daughters, hears muttering from the basement and finds only a toy there. At school she is bullied as the new girl and an atheist. Alone in her room she writes in her diary, and an invisible entity answers, calling itself Naro; it knows her bullies and offers friendship and help. From then on Karem can move objects with her mind, and her shy manner turns explosive. Father Miguel, visiting the house, recalls what happened to the family before them, but Abraham, the patriarch, dismisses his warnings while Mariana and the children feel something is wrong with their home.
