Here’s a thing everyone wants: a miracle. Here’s a thing everyone fears: what it takes to get one. Visitors to Bicho Raro, Colorado, are quickly plunged into a strange landscape of dark saints, forbidden love, scientific dreams, miracle-mad owls, estranged affections, one or two orphans, and a sky full of watchful desert stars. At the heart of this place you will find the Soria family, who are all able to perform eerie miracles. At the heart of this family are three cousins longing to change its future. Beatriz, the girl without feelings, who yearns for the freedom to be herself. Daniel, the saint, who performs miracles for everyone but himself. Finally, Joaquin, who spends his nights running a pirate radio station under the name Diablo Diablo. They’re all looking for a miracle. But the miracles of Bicho Raro are never quite what you expect…
