Nuevo Rico
A brother & sister duo struggle as reggaetón artists living in a dystopian future Puerto Rico, now called Nuevo Rico. They are chased into the rainforest by the authorities where the two come across several local deities seeking a new reggaetón megastar to propel their song into the world. Years later, and far away from Nuevo Rico, the siblings find themselves at a crossroads over creative differences in a now submerged aquatic city of Miami. They seem not only at odds, but a shadow of their former selves, haunted by their chance encounter years earlier.
They discover their new found fame comes at a deep price.
