sinopsis
Renowned photographer Nathan Mercer travels to the heart of the Yucatán Peninsula, seeking inspiration amid ancient ruins and dense, uncharted jungles. But what begins as an adventure to capture the beauty of Mayan landscapes soon turns into a journey into the unknown. Guided by a local with a wary respect for the land’s secrets, Nathan is drawn to a mysterious cenote rumored to be a gateway to Xibalbá—the ancient Maya underworld.
As he ventures deeper, he encounters whispers, visions, and a strange sense that the jungle itself is watching, testing him. The line between reality and myth blurs as Nathan confronts shadows not only within the jungle but within himself. Bound by an unseen force and haunted by choices from his past, he faces a final test that will either offer redemption… or consume him entirely.
Will Nathan escape the shadows of Xibalbá, or will he become yet another lost echo in its depths?
