It's a few weeks until Halloween and Día de Los Muertos. Tula's friend Carmen has convinced her to go to a new event called Night of the Calavera. It's meant to celebrate the two holidays in the nearby town of Driftwood, Texas, not far from Tula in Slaughter Creek.
Tula adores Halloween, but Dia de Los Muertos is the night she loves. Every year, she leaves Slaughter Creek and celebrates on her own in a different location.
Despite the forecast set for rain after a week of storms, Tula agrees to go to Night of the Calavera, held at an abandoned petting zoo on a farm. Plus, she wants to get her mind off someone she has admired from afar but is unavailable.
When they arrive, the event looks like a total flop with not many people there and even fewer vendors. Little does Tula know that the Calavera is real. And it's out for blood.
