A scrappy, slow-burning creature hunt that feels like a homemade campfire tale, more goofy than scary but with a few eerie jolts.

Overview: Is the legend of Chupacabran (roughly translated to getsugare) true? Or is it just folklore? Or a madman in latex suit? When Maria Esperanza's uncle and his goats are assaulted and killed, she collects together a team of crypto zoology student and a Marine to unravel the mystery once and for all
