Raptada a los cuatro años de un autobús abarrotado en la Ciudad de Guatemala, una niña a quien su madre llamaba Colibrí ha pasado ocho años recorriendo las tierras altas de Guatemala junto a "Tío", un exsoldado y mendigo que la rebautizó Rosa. Unas adivinas le dijeron a Tío que Rosa le traería un gran tesoro, así que la ha mantenido a su lado, viajando de pueblo en pueblo sin encontrar nunca esa fortuna. Ahora, con doce años, Rosa sigue soñando con sus padres perdidos. Cuando la esperanza de Tío se convierte en desesperación y furia, Rosa enfrenta un peligro cada vez mayor, sobre todo de quien ha controlado toda su vida.
