Coming September 2023!

From the hot suburban streets of Southern California to the sun drenched coast of Mexico and back again, two estranged Latina cousins re-unite and unravel a curious mystery involving local folk legends, archeology and a long absent father, thought to have all but abandoned his struggling family.

With the help of yet another pretty and popular cousin, an annoying but clever little sister and a put upon brother exiled to grandmas house, this motley team blend untapped talents and bravery becoming closer as their adventure shows them the ways of family loyalty, camaraderie and teamwork.

Desde las calles calientes suburbanas del sur de California hasta la costa de México bañadas por el sol y otra vez de vuelta; dos primas latinas distanciadas, se vuelven a reunir y resuelven un curioso misterio que involucra una leyenda popular local. La arqueología y un padre de mucho tiempo de ausencia, el cual pensaba que lo tenía todo pero abandonó a su familia en aprietos.

Con la ayuda de aún otro primo bonito y popular, una hermanita molestosa pero lista y un hermano puesto al exilio en la casa de la abuela, este grupo heterogéneo (multicolor) mezcla talentos todavía por descubrir y la valentía que los hace más cercanos a medida que su aventura les enseña las maneras de la lealtad familiar, el compañerismo y el trabajo en equipo.

Coming Soon!

After narrowly escaping with their lives with the magical mouthpiece from Demonica Shadows and her Minions of Darkness, Harmony, Eazy and Juan Carlos find refuge in the attic of small bakery owned by a sweet, elderly widower named Miss Sweetbread. She seems to understand their plight and offers to help in any way she can. But there is another reason why she wants to help. She is an angel secretly working to get the mouthpiece back to the Horn of Gabriel.

With Demonica in hot pursuit, The Walkers and Juan Carlos need all the help they can get. Eazy even finds work in a jazz and blues club called The Carnation Club, owned by an unscrupulous Frenchman, Jean-Pierre, who will do anything to get the horn for himself.

Harmony must find a way to get rid of Demonica and help her dad become young again. But, most of all, she must return the sacred and magical mouthpiece to the Horn of Gabriel and reunite her family.

It’s all up to Harmony!
