Jalisco's a humble girl that lives on the outskirts of Guadalajara. One day, out of nowhere, Jalisco's mom disappears. Jalisco goes to the cops, then to the bar to ask for help- anyone's help, but everyone snubs her. So Jalisco sets off on her own to find her mom. Luckily for her she gets saved by a band of Adelitas. They all know the fate of her mom but can't tell her about the rampant femicide. Instead Adella, the matriarch of the Adelitas, says she'll train her so she can learn to protect herself and tells her about Malinche, the traitor to our gender and the leader of the femicides. Then, the house of the Adelitas is attacked...

The story is heart-breaking and opens the door for lots of discussion, but can be a bit hard to follow, with flashbacks, and parts of the storyline that aren't explained.
