    Summary

    The dead Riveras made their way to the bridge, and found a huge chunk of crowd at the entrance. There was something that looked like a very large fabric covering the entire Santa Cecilia section of the Land of the Dead.

    "Is this normal? Héctor asked his wife.
    "No," Imelda shook her head, and turned to a woman nearby, "Do you know what's going on? señora.”
    "There is an invisible barrier on the bridge," she replied, "No one is able to cross.".
    "Qué!?" Héctor panicked.

    Summary

    Hector Rivera is a middle school music teacher who is not ready to be a parent, but he has little choice when his primo Enrique is killed in a car accident with his wife, meaning Hector now has temporary custody of his godson, eight-year-old Miguel.

    His bachelor life is in for quite a bit of a change to accommodate his new charge, whether it means coping with the annoyance of his youtuber diva roommate Ernesto, allying his boss/estranged girlfriend Imelda's concern over him raising a child, or honestly just getting all his papers graded in time when he's got a little boy to comfort.

    At first Hector's terrified that he won't know the first thing about having a kid around, but once Miguel arrives he starts to worry about something else entirely: how on Earth is he going to cope when Miguel has to leave?

    Summary

    Victoria's third Día de los Muertos on the other side is a pleasant and uneventful night. Dropping off family friend Ceci's offerings and stumbling upon her friend with a tragic past is unfortunate, not life-changing. Héctor's just reimbursing Ceci for a Frida Kahlo costume he misplaced. Sure, dying at twenty one and having no foto on any ofrenda is sad, but at least her family isn't like that.

    Things get complicated when it is accidentally revealed that 'Ceci's tragic friend Héctor' and 'her good for nothing abuelo' may, in fact, be the same person.

    .

    Or: Ceci López accidentally reunites grandfather and granddaughter thirty-two years early and Victoria won't rest until she has uncovered the truth of her family's greatest tragedy, even if she has to talk to Mamá Imelda about that músico to get there.

    Summary

    For Imelda, trying to prevent Héctor from coming back into her life is like throwing water into the sea: pointless. With her family keen to accept the strange musician, and a challenge she can hardly refuse, she soon finds herself caught up in the continuation of a romance decades in the making.

    Summary

    The first time Héctor left, Imelda had been sure he'd come back. The second time he leaves, she's certain he won't.

     

    With no way of knowing his picture would be placed on the ofrenda, Héctor says his goodbyes and disappears rather than burden his family as he withers away. Which is fine, Imelda tells herself. Just fine. Until somehow she finds herself at the bank of the river, staring into Shantytown, determined to find her husband and bring him home.
