Spring, 2020. Nuria's family is bankrupt, and the pandemic lockdown forces them to move into the Empress building, located in the rundown neighborhoods of San Juli n. The rent is suspiciously cheap. On their very first day, Andrea discovers a mutilated neighbor clutching diamonds and whispering, "Don't accept anything from the Mutilator."
Something dwells beneath the building. Something that trades wealth for flesh. And it has already chosen its next victim: Leo, Andrea's five-year-old brother.
Trapped by the lockdown, with no way to escape, they must protect the child from a creature that hunts in the darkness. Because in the Empress, the price of greed is always paid in blood.
A supernatural horror tale intertwined with the very real terror of the 2020 pandemic-where every night could be the last.
