Javier brings his pregnant wife, Delia, to his isolated family ranch in a remote village. Though she is lavished with care, Delia senses a quiet dread that she cannot shake. On a hunting trip Javier shoots what he believes to be a deer—only to discover it is a man. The ranch hands dispose of the body over a canyon and urge Javier to put the matter behind him, but the victim’s spirit returns to implore his mother, the village witch, to avenge his death. Under a sudden, violent storm the witch appears at the estate and pronounces a curse: Delia will give birth to twin daughters, and one of them will hide a monstrous being within her. The next day Delia bears a beautiful baby girl and the household breathes easier—until she goes into labor again a few hours later and is brutally killed by the second infant. Both newborns are identical, radiant and seemingly healthy, leaving everyone haunted by the impossible question of which child caused their mother’s death. Years later the twins have grown into opposites: Gilda has escaped to the city and forged an independent life as a doctor, while Liliana remains a fragile invalid confined to the ranch. Beneath their mirrored faces, one of them conceals the terrible presence of the Chacala, a demon that will soon reveal itself and unleash destruction on those around her.
