The story follows the journey of a convict, Ramon, who has escaped from jail and comes to a remote mountain village along the Camino de Santiago (Way of Saint James) searching for a treasure hidden there years earlier. What at first appears to be a deserted town in which only a few elderly people live, turns out to be a village surviving under a curse that has existed for more than 600 years. Ramon soon finds that the harmless elders are actually looking for souls to trade with the Grim Reaper himself. And so begin his adventures to find the treasure, understand the mysterious events taking place in the village, and escape with his life.
In true Agatha Christie suspense style, the story also takes a hidden look into the values and traditions of a culture that is centuries old and is based on the myths and stories of the pilgrimages to Compostela that have been travelled by millions since the 11th century.
