Madre de Dios
by Marvin González De León

Following years of estrangement, Moisés returns to his mother’s home in the Southern Nevada desert for his sister’s wake. Set against an apocalyptic landscape where supernatural forces loom, old grudges boil to the surface, and secrets are revealed as this family drama catapults into a mythic tale of Biblical proportion.
