"Mari didn't feel insane. She felt ... cagey, pushed to the edge by a malevolent brinkmanship, subject to some king who could seize or do away with her any time he pleased. Now that was a paranoid thought if there ever was one. But can a paranoid thought be true?" One shift separates Marianela from flying home to celebrate the Dance of the Devils, her mother having volunteered her to perform its central role as La Minga. When Mari's hospital in New Orleans activates its emergency teams for a coming hurricane, however, a sequence of events gradually transforms her from committed nurse to committed psych patient. Determined to escape, she sets herself against the personal and impersonal monstrosities of her confinement, fomenting a second storm in her wake.
