From the moment old Nana Reja finds a baby abandoned under a bridge, swaddled in bees, the Mexican town of Linares is never the same.
Simonopio, the disfigured child she discovers, is both feared and revered by locals, seen by some as a devil’s child. But for landowners Francisco and Beatriz Morales, he becomes a miracle, and they raise him as their own. With an uncanny gift, Simonopio closes his eyes and sees visions of the future, glimpses both beautiful and foreboding.
As he grows, Simonopio senses threats approaching Linares, poised to challenge everything the Morales family holds dear. Guided by his swarm of bees, he’s determined to shield those he loves.
But can Simonopio’s visions and his strange powers protect them from what’s coming?
