Plot
Alexander Garcia is convinced that his family is cursed due to the constant accident-prone incidents that he may or may not have caused. He lives with his older sister, Mia, who is waiting to get asked to the prom, his mother, Val, who is a travel journalist, his father, Frank, whose restaurant is getting shut down (unbeknownst to the family), and his grandmother and Frank's mother, Lidia. They are visited by Val's father, Gil, who has come to watch over their dog, Clyde, while they go on a road trip paid for by Val's magazine. While rummaging through the attic, Alexander finds an old Mexican idol. Gil reveals that his grandfather, Alejandro, was gifted it by brujas to help him become wealthy through his farm. Because he didn't return it, a fire broke out that burned the town of Soledad down. Frank resolves to toss it away to put Alexander's mind at ease.
