LOG LINE:

 

Two very different brothers are drawn to a legendary heritage of gold... or is it more than just a legend?

SYNOPSIS:

 

A prospectors’ remains found in the Superstition Mountains of Arizona are identified as the father of JESSE PERALTA, an ex pick-pocket/card shark currently working as "Loss Prevention” for a Las Vegas casino resort.

 

This “job” is JESSE’S penance, in lieu of prison time for the $1.5 million sharked from casino magnate MR. UDENIO SR. Felony charges were trumped up from the stolen wallet of a dignitary planted in JESSE’S room.

 

JESSE'S heart and home are in the family vineyard located near Sedona, Arizona.  JESSE’S land is held as collateral by the UDENIOS, and the pressure of loosing it is impending and heavy.

 

Adopted brother CHANO PERALTA is a fervent Latin-jazz conga player.  He was found at age four by the PERALTA FATHER during a prospecting trip in the Superstition Mountains. He was hiding in the rocks... his parents brutally murdered. 

 

Happy-go-lucky blonde haired blue eyed CHANO idolizes his older brother JESSE, but is a constant and at times annoying living reminder of the PERALTA father to JESSE.

 

True character is revealed in these two very different brothers on this road trip of adventure. They learn of their heritage and themselves while searching for their family's legendary treasure. 

 

The historic Superstition Mountains are shrouded in Native American legend, as well as a mysterious bloody trail of murder and unexplained forces that seem to be "protecting" its opulence. 

 

Vibrant, soul touching music weaves this visual heart filled story, and the challenges of a family with an exciting heritage!

"Love Song"  by Elton John
 

The words I have to say
May well be simple but they're true,
Until you give your love,
There's nothing more that we can do.

Love is the opening door
Love is what we came here for
No one could offer you more
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?

You say it's very hard
To leave behind the life we knew,
But there's no other way
And now it's really up to you

Love is the key we must turn.
Truth us the flame we must burn.
Freedom the lesson we must learn.
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?
