Synopsis and trailer follow...

Ferrell is Armando Alvarez, an earnest, gentle soul, a dreamer who has lived and worked on his father’s ranch in Mexico all his life. As the ranch encounters financial difficulties, Armando's younger brother Raul, shows up with his new fiancée, Sonia.

It seems that Raul's success as an international businessman means the ranch's troubles are over as he pledges to settle all debts his father has incurred. However when Armando falls for Sonia, and Raul's business dealings turn out to be less than legit, all hell breaks loose as they find themselves in a war with Mexico's most feared drug lord, the mighty Onza.

Fresh from their Primetime Emmy Award winning work on the legendary Saturday Night Live series, writer Andrew Steele and director Matt Piedmont combine romance, action and adventure with comedy to make an inspired and affectionate nod towards the much loved, classic Latin American soap opera.
