A young Belizean girl, Maria, finds herself mysteriously pregnant and trying to cross the US/MEX border while outrunning a deadly virus, the Cartels, Border Patrol and the right-hand man of the Devil. This genre-bending retelling of the Mary and Joseph story begs the question – who are the real monsters?

In a small town in northern Mexico, where two drug cartels rule, the young man Lupe embraces his dangerous fate. He transforms into Coyotl, a mythical creature that is half man and half beast. With this transformation, Lupe wants to become the protector his people so desperately need.
