Desde hace 400 años, la Tierra es un páramo estéril. Los pocos humanos que quedan luchan por sobrevivir en la cruel ciudad de Pocatel. Su otra opción es aventurarse solos en las tierras salvajes, que están plagadas de espÃritus errantes y gudrones. No duran mucho. Leandro, un ladroncito de 13 años, y su hermana Gabi hacen lo que pueden para forjarse una vida en Pocatel. La ciudad no es amable con cascabeles como ellos, descendientes de quienes trabajaron en el valle de San JoaquÃn durante generaciones. Luego de que atrapan a Gabi robando la preciada fruta de la elite pocatelana, Leandro asume la responsabilidad del robo. Su exilio resulta ser mucho más de lo que él podrÃa haber imaginado de un simple destierro: su conciencia es colocada en un antiguo dron y... a arreglárselas solo. Pero más allá de los muros de Pocatel hay otros alebrijes que, como Leandro, quieren un mundo mejor. También hay monstruos mutantes, piratas del páramo, un oasis oculto... y la verdad.
