Las Espadas was once a town full of vast greenery and plantations owned by generations of wealthy landowners and their farmers until a 1999 major crop plague doomed their land, sparking a superstitious tale among the locals.

After being sentenced to life imprisonment, Camila eventually gives birth to a beautiful baby girl in prison.

Anguished and unable to find her newborn daughter, her last words exact revenge on every person who falsely accused her as she apparently perished in the flames.

18 years pass and urban legend fuses into reality as a group of teenagers headed by Elias Sanchez (Joshua Garcia) again tell the story of Camila.

Playfully, they claim that on the day of the blood moon eclipse, the ghost of Camila will possess a new body and kickstart her vow for revenge.

Securing a job as the town's mortuary cosmetologist, she is told of the tale of The Killer Bride but disbelieves it.
