AWAY FROM YESTERDAY

Tequila mogul Juan Azul wants a divorce and a simpler life— but Lucia, his vengeful wife refuses, hiring amateur hitmen for a clean break. Hiding his wealth, Juan falls for Marcela, a sweet widow. Their romance turns tragic when her rookie cop son Eduardo comes home, hears screams, assumes rape, shoots Juan. Believing him dead, they cover it up—only for Lucia’s hitmen to find Juan breathing. They finish the job, send photos of their handiwork, and get caught, landing Lucia in prison while Marcela and her son walk free… and broken.

2999 RACE TO THE SUN

He trusted her—not the system.

Deceased physicist Dr. Lee’s secret research goes on via afterlife hologram as Vita, his star pupil, and child prodigy decodes his warning of a ravenous ballooning toxic waste entity about to devour New Earth. Instinctively tracing ancient math and memory through time Vita unlocks the keys to the planet’s survival in a 1300 BC pyramid and her own DNA.

18th & IDAHO

When a bitter, antisemitic luxury realtor loses a million-dollar commission to his Jewish rival, he goes ballistic. Embracing his nazi ancestry, possessed by an evil entity through haunted family memorabilia, he becomes an internet idol. Spouting hate rap while getting SS sleeves tattooed on-camera under the influence of Jägermeister and ecstasy, in a blaze of rage he murders his successful rival and the man’s family, staging it as suicide murder until a clever LAPD detective in the hate crimes division brings him to justice.
