In the heart of San Remigio, where rolling hills meet sun-kissed orchards, twelve-year-old Lila finds solace and adventure amidst her grandmother's sprawling peach farm. The annual harvest brings more than just sweet fruit; it brings Rafael, a traveler with kind eyes and a warm smile, into her life. As their bond deepens, whispers of strange occurrences in the surrounding hills begin to surface, stirring old tales of restless spirits and guardians of the land. When a mysterious figure emerges from the shadows, threatening the peace of the orchard, Lila and Rafael must confront the secrets hidden within the ancient trees. Their love, tested by fear and uncertainty, becomes intertwined with the fate of the orchard, leading them on a path of discovery, danger, and the unveiling of a magic far deeper than they ever imagined.
