Our protagonist is a young man named Fenix — once Fenix the Boy Magician, of the Circo del Gringo. His father, Orgo, runs the circus and is nominally a knife-thrower, although most of his time seems to be dedicated to drinking and abusing his family. His mother, Concha, is the queen of the flying trapeze as well as a devotee of the Santa Sangre Church, where she and her followers worship a girl whose arms were cut off by rapists. The arrival of a Tattooed Woman and her protégée, the deaf-mute Alma, sparks a chain of jealousy and lust that culminates in gruesome death, all of it witnessed by Fenix firsthand.
