Lola de La Pena yearns to be free from the societal expectations of a young Mexican lady of her station. She spends her days pretending to be delicate and proper while watching her mama cure the sick and injured with sal negra (black salt), a recently discovered magic that heals even the most mortal of sicknesses and wounds. But by night, she is Salvacion, the lady vigilante protecting the town of Coloma among the rising tension in Alta California after the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. But one night, a woman races into town, barely alive, with a horrifying tale of how her town was obliterated by the potent and deady sal roja, a magic capable of obliterating anything it touches and the man who wields it: Damien Hernandez.
