A body unearthed... A town disturbed... And a past that refuses to stay buried.

La huella del mal begins with the shocking discovery of a young woman’s body, murdered in a ritualistic manner near the ancient archaeological site of Atapuerca, known for its prehistoric significance. But the horror isn’t new—six years earlier, a crime with eerie similarities left the community shaken.

Now, paranoia returns.

As investigators dig into the present, long-buried traumas and local legends resurface. Is this the work of a copycat, a cult, or something far more sinister—something ancient, tied to the land’s primal history?

What unfolds is a slow-burn psychological descent into fear, grief, and the collective madness of a town haunted by violence, myth, and suspicion.
