Mateo makes the dangerous journey back home to the United States
through the Sonoran Desert with the help of a new friend, a ghost
named Guillermo in a supernatural borderland odyssey by debut
graphic novelists Julio Anta and Jacoby Salcedo. As long as he
remembers to stay smart and keep his eyes open, Mateo knows that he
can survive the trek across the Sonoran Desert that will take him
from Mexico to the United States. That is until he’s caught by
the Border Patrol only moments after sneaking across the fence in
the dead of night. Escaping their clutches comes at a price and,
lost in the desert without a guide or water, Mateo is ill-prepared
for the unforgiving heat that is sure to arrive come sunrise. With
the odds stacked against him, his one chance at survival may be
putting his trust in something, or rather someone, that he isn’t
even sure exists. If you’d asked him if ghosts were real before
he found himself face-to-face with one, Mateo wouldn’t have even
considered it. But now, confronted with the nearly undeniable
presence of Guillermo, he’s having second thoughts. Having spent
his afterlife guiding migrants to safety, Guillermo knows things
about the Sonoran Desert far beyond what could be explained by a
mere hallucination. But even as Mateo forms an uneasy partnership
with Guillermo, survival is still uncertain. The Sonoran Desert,
with its hostile temperatures and inhabitants, is teeming with
danger as the Border Patrol and rogue militias prowl its deadly
terrain. As his journey stretches on, Mateo will have to decide
exactly what and who he’s willing to sacrifice to find home.
