Why these tropes fit
Yadriel, a trans boy whose traditional Latinx family struggles to accept his gender, attempts a solo brujo ritual with the help of his cousin and best friend Maritza to summon and release the ghost of his murdered cousin. Instead, he accidentally summons Julian Diaz, the school's resident troublemaker, who refuses to cross over until he uncovers what happened to him and ties up loose ends. Yadriel reluctantly agrees to help Julian investigate, and as they spend increasing time together, his initial desire to be rid of Julian gives way to romantic attachment, even as his family's expectations continue to weigh on him.
