En un pueblo abandonado del Pirineo, Mikel Rey, un mediocre periodista de poco prestigio en busca de un buen reportaje sobre el abandono de muchos pueblos aislados y despoblados de las montañas. Descubre en una de las pocas casas que todavía quedan en pie y cuya puerta encuentra entreabierta, el cadáver de un hombre decapitado, asesinado de una forma bestial y al parecer siguiendo algún sanguinario y maligno ritual. Todo perece llevar algún tiempo abandonado. Dado el total aislamiento del lugar y lo avanzado de la tarde decide después de dudar entre salir corriendo o aprovechar la increíble historia periodística que se le aparece antes sus ojos, pasar la noche en su tienda de acampada en un prado cercano al lado de las ruinas del pueblo, y al día siguiente seguir con lo que cree será el reportaje de su vida..... En realidad aquello se convirtió para Mikel una pesadilla que nunca más olvidaría.
