PlotSpring break descends on the coastal town of Miami, drawing throngs of college students eager for sun, surf, and partying. Meanwhile, the town is still reeling from the recent execution of Diablo, a notorious biker gang leader convicted of murder. As the festivities kick off, an unsettling fear hangs over the crowds when a series of grisly deaths begin to occur. John, a recently dumped college student, teams up with his new friend Skip to uncover the horrifying truth behind the mysterious killings. They suspect that Diablo's gang might be seeking revenge or that the spirit of Diablo himself has returned.
Tensions mount as bodies begin piling up, each death more brutal than the last. The local authorities appear inept and overwhelmed, leaving John and Skip to push deeper into the seedy underbelly of Miami’s beach scene. With each clue they unravel, they inch closer to a dark conspiracy that ties the murders to the cursed legacy of Diablo. Residents and tourists alike are gripped with terror, unsure of who will be the next victim. As terrifying secrets come to light, John and Skip realize they are racing against time to stop the bloodshed and save themselves from becoming the next targets in this malevolent cycle.
