As greed takes hold, one man betrays his companions, only to find that immortality comes at a cost far beyond his imagining.

In the remote Peruvian village of Vortezo, a thunderstorm rolls in as a ghostly conquistador named Vortezo—legendary for his brutal reign—rises from the past to terrorize the townspeople.
