SYNOPSIS<\/p>\n

Set in 1973 Los Angeles, the film tells the story of Anna Tate-Garcia (Linda Cardellini), a social worker and widowed single mom struggling to balance the two roles while still coping with the loss of her husband.<\/p>\n

As a skeptic serving a city of believers, Anna has navigated a multitude of phantoms and superstitions in her job, usually finding personal demons lurking beneath. So when she\u2019s called to the home of Patricia Alvarez (Patricia Velasquez) and finds her two young sons locked in a closet, she interprets their terrified mother\u2019s desperate efforts to keep them locked away as a dangerous sign of abuse.<\/p>\n

Though Anna is determined to get Patricia the help she needs, her first concern is the safety of the children. But, because she is unaware of the very real danger they face, Anna has no idea what she\u2019s about to unleash \u2013 or the devastation it will cause \u2013 when she places a psychiatric hold on their mother and takes the kids into protective custody.<\/p>\n

In the deepest hours of the night, a haunting cry echoes through the corridors of the children\u2019s shelter where the two boys sleep\u2026 When their bodies are later pulled from the river, their distraught mother lays the blame at Anna\u2019s feet, and leaves her with an eerie warning: La Llorona has her children now\u2026 but Anna\u2019s own could be next.<\/p>\n

When darkness descends and her kids hear the weeping woman\u2019s ominous cries, Anna is forced to confront the reality of Patricia\u2019s claims: this legendary spirit is hunting children in modern-day Los Angeles\u2026and her own small kids are her prey.<\/p>\n

With nowhere else to turn, Anna puts her faith in Rafael Olvera (Raymond Cruz), a former priest-turned-curandero who has been preparing for this battle all his life. Bringing his powerful faith and arsenal of spiritual totems, Rafael bands together with Anna and her kids as they batten down the hatches and arm themselves for the onslaught when night falls and La Llorona unleashes the full force of her furious supernatural wrath.<\/p>\n
