While Sonny Baca and friends are enjoying Albuquerque's famed hot air balloon festival, a woman plummets from the sky. Four black feathers surround her body--the calling card of Sonny's nemesis from "Zia Summer", Raven. Raven possesses powers no mortal can match; and Sonny knows that he is the only one who can defeat him. Drawing on his own guardians, and with the help of a "curandera", Sonny risks his life for his city--and the survival of the one he loves the most.
