A Mayan forest village lives happily and harmoniously, save for Blount's despicable taunts about infertility. When the frightened refugees passed, the chief forbade the hunting team to "spread fear", but the real reason soon emerged. Their own communities were looted and the survivors were brutally enslaved and dragged away. The boss's proud son, Jaguar Paw, managed to hide his pregnant wife and young son, but in an unsafe place. These people are destined to sacrifice to the gods in the capital of the Predator Kingdom, ravaged by the plague. The "auspicious" solar eclipse made their numbers redundant, but the attacker's captain ordered them killed as target practice. Jaguar Paw survived, killed the captain's son and can now become the embodiment of the doomsday prophecy, or even die without saving his family, while another danger looms.
