Logline

An epic love story between a tropical geisha and a Caribbean samurai

Synopsis

Juan Encarnación was once the most feared man; a man of few words and great actions, most of them with machetes. Everything changed when he met the love of his life, Pura. She converted him into a quiet family man. His idyllic life is destroyed when, bewitched by her beauty, capricious Walker Jr. kidnaps Pura. Carrying his baby daughter on his back and with machete in hand, Encarnación will do whatever it takes to rescue her.
