A sleepy morning finds two American travelers, Jo Ann and Peggy, waking in a shadowy stone casa deep in the Mexican countryside. Their host, the vivacious Florence, greets them with a cheerful servant named Juana, while iron‑barred shutters swing open to flood the room with bright sunlight. The girls quickly sense that something about the house—its heavy beams, hidden windows, and whispered Spanish—holds a secret waiting to be uncovered.
As they settle into a leisurely breakfast, Florence hints at a message that was meant for them, and Juana’s cryptic gestures suggest deeper layers to the welcome. Jo Ann, eager to master the language, finds herself drawn into conversations that reveal odd coincidences and an uneasy feeling that the house itself may be watching. Listeners are invited to follow the girls as they begin piecing together clues, balancing the charm of Mexican life with the tension of an unfolding mystery.
