Twelve-year-old David Luke is unhappy. He has been uprooted. He has to attend a new school, speak a different language and hopefully, make friends in his new home in Lima, Peru. Anna, his mother, could not have left him behind in America while she was to spend the next two years doing her fellowship at a Peruvian university. An encounter with the renown Dr. Máximo Rojas, director of the restoration project of the ruins of San Mateo, an ancient pyramid located a few blocks from David's new school, unleashes mysterious symptoms in David and threatens to bring his mother's carefully guarded secret into light. Soon, David and Anna will be drawn into the strange world of sorcerers or brujos and of the modern-day shamans, the curanderos.
