The basic premise is that all the elements of Mexican folklare, such as chupacabras and La Llorona, are all real and breed in the Rift, another dimension which connects to our own. The titular Paola "Pao" Santiago doesn't believe in Mexican folklore, considering herself a practical scientist, until her friend Emma is kidnapped and a mysterious, snarky girl pops into her dreams. Following vague instructions given by her other friend, Dante's, grandma, Pao and Dante find their way into a dangerous new world where chupacabras and La Llorona are very, very real and very, very much want to kill them. Along the way, Pao and Dante land at a camp for lost children that Pao's former bully runs, discover the secret about why Emma was kidnapped, and accept all the hidden emotions growing in them, like the budding romantic feelings they have for each other and Pao's resentment of her superstitious mother.
