Είναι 1982 και ένα εντεκάχρονο ορφανό κορίτσι βρίσκει την οικογένεια που του έλειπε στην καρδιά μιας μικρής queer κοινότητας η οποία ζει σε μια απομονωμένη κωμόπολη, στην έρημο της Βόρειας Χιλής. Το τοπίο είναι αφιλόξενο και σκληρά ανδροκρατούμενο, τα θαρραλέα μέλη της κοινότητας όμως απαντούν με γαργαλιστική τσαχπινιά και τσαγανό, μέχρι τη στιγμή που η φήμη για έναν θανατηφόρο μεταδοτικό ιό θα σκορπίσει τον φόβο και τη βία στην περιοχή.
