Alexis will begin his "brand new life" in Mexico for the pre-Spanish festival, Day of the Dead, while Alejandro will travel to Canada, just in time to make preparations for Halloween. Both festive occasions would seem to have much in common, but as each boy will learn, the events are really not similar at all. One boy will experience a day of fun and mischief, while the other experiences a day of spiritual celebration. A Canadian boy goes to Mexico and celebrates the Day of the Dead, while a Mexican boy dresses up and goes trick-or-treating. .
