Deep in the Yucatan jungle, interior designers Luis and Alicia finish up a project in an American oil company executive's vacation home. However, as their client is about to arrive home, they accidentally break an invaluable crystal jaguar decoration—what they don't know is the jaguar holds the key to the executive's oil money, and someone's out to get it! As the two designers try to hide their accident, suspicions grow, and matters are only made worse with a storm, an unexpected guest, and a boiling pot of secrets.
