A cross between Perfume and The Secret History, Curandera explores
the darker elements of shamanism, desire and friendship. In the
mountainous town of Gethsemane, a mysterious woman's arrival sparks
a series of strange events that will leave the town's inhabitants
changed - men sporadically blind in the afternoons, children
disappearing and reappearing without warning and infertile women
pregnant with the memories of past births. In London, Therese, a
botanist, is quietly on the hunt for a rare form of peyote. Therese
lives with three friends in a Victorian house, Azacca, a Haitian
musician who leaves offerings, Peruvian drifter Emilien who is
haunted by the past and adventurous Finn, who is increasingly drawn
to living life on the edge. When Therese discovers she can heal the
sick, jealousy and resentment fracture their bond.
