Wana del Monte, on the outskirts of Mexico City, has no shortage of legends. Some say there are no ghosts in the burned-out mansion, only a gigantic cauldron. The Salinas family sealed away their fortune with the flesh and blood of three generations, only to vanish in the flames, leaving behind a wall that breathes.
Years later, the curse donned a glass curtain wall and became the Ahoka Financial Plaza. It devours the ambitions of Montezuma City, grinding the anxieties of the living into nourishment. When the building extends its tendrils toward China, a fugitive girl named Wang xx wanders into its sights.
She thinks she has carried off a treasure that will change her fate, unaware that she has become the giant machine’s new “base station” in the East.
This is a story about how greed evolves, and how one person pays the most agonizing price to sever the chain called “wealth.”
