The problem? He's transgender and no one in his family, even though they tolerate him, believes it will work "naturally."Desperate, Yadriel and Maritza, his ride-or-die best friend/cousin, decide to go ahead with an impromptu ritual to receive Lady Death's blessing. Things take a turn when a family member mysteriously dies and disappears without anyone knowing where he is. Hoping to get everyone's good graces and respect (especially his father's) before they're reunited with everybody's deceased relatives for Día de los Muertos (the Day of the Dead), Yadriel tries to summon his missing relative's ghost. And behind everyone's backs.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The problem? He's summoned the wrong ghost. Enter Julian, a recently deceased local bad boy who refuses to leave unless Yadriel checks up on the safety of the former's friends. As they gradually learn each other's situations, their walls are torn down and Yadriel finds it harder to let Julian go...

Chekhov's Gun: Early on, it's mentioned that the family can't find their jaguar-claw knives, special ritual weapons that have been passed down for generations. The knives are being used in the murders.

Dangerous Forbidden Technique: Blood Magic might be common, but human blood is far too powerful for casual use and unless it's used in very specific ways it will kill the caster. Yadriel saves Julian and Miguel with it and Maritza saves him in turn, with the help of Santa Muerte herself.

Boy Meets Ghoul: Although Yadriel isn't quite normal as a brujo, he's still a living boy falling in love with a ghost.
