Plot summary:
A young boy named Ikal is leaving on a train looking forlorn as a girl and a dog chase after him calling out his name. Months earlier, Ikal is walking along with a few other children to investigate a dead body
They confirm that the person is dead but a growl from a nearby bush as the other children scramble. Ikal stays behind and finds out that the growl came from a dog just looking for a friend.
The other children return with the school teacher Miss Georgina, worried that the new kid might have been eaten by the monster. Once they see him walk back with a dog in tow, they calm down.
Miss Georgina tells Ikal that there is a school in this new town and all children must attend and so should he. Ikal is the son of Lucero and Tomas. Tomas is a railroad worker so Ikal has moved around a lot in his young life and never got the chance to attend school.
Miss Georgina insists that he go to school and learn and his parents agree to send him. His new school is an abandoned rail car and over there Ikal makes some new friends, Chico, Valeria, and Tuerto.
Chico is older and constantly gets into scraps with people including Ikal, Valeria is a smart girl who Ikal seems to develop a crush on, and Tuerto is a smart young boy who dreams of working in railways as a train conductor.
For the first time in his life, Ikal feels at home as he spends time with his new friends and also learns to read and write thanks to Miss Georgina. She takes extra lessons to help him and inspires him to give back.
Meanwhile, a man named Hugo Valenzuela who works for the Department of Education is tasked with traveling the country and telling smaller public schools that they will be shut down due to new federal reforms.
It is a tough job that breaks many hearts but Hugo goes along with it because no one else will.
Ikal names the dog Quetzal and it follows him everywhere. He and his friends sneak into the local boss’s house and steal food, they attend the circus together and see a magician pull a rabbit out of a hat.
