The Love Witch meets Monstrilio in Bruja's Nest, where a young woman's abuse history and ambition erupt into body horror, class war, and monstrous motherhood.
Raised amidst poverty, alcoholism, and sexual abuse, Yolanda is determined to seize control of her future. When she starts work as an indentured servant on the Fernández De la Rosa estate, she realizes she can secure a place as the lady of the house: all she has to do is trick their naive son into getting her pregnant.
The local bruja's fertility ritual horrifies her, and Yolanda delivers a massive egg under the watchful eye of Santa Muerte, the Mexican folk saint of death. But the hacienda where she's been promised a permanent home is full of blasphemies, secrets, and bodies, and the family she's tied herself to is loyal only to wealth and power. Worst of all, her beloved son is unacceptable to them--a monstrous reflection of the circumstances that gave him life.
But Yolanda will do anything to protect them both. It's just a matter of earning the place she deserves.
