Saturday Fuego Diablo

In the vibrant, sun-drenched city of Santa Maria, a trio of unlikely friends – a bumbling ex-con, a sharp-tongued street vendor, and a tech-savvy hacker – stumble upon a lost treasure map. Pursued by a ruthless crime syndicate and a comically inept police detective, they embark on a chaotic adventure filled with explosive chases, mistaken identities, and unexpected betrayals. Their quest for riches becomes a madcap race against time, testing their loyalty and their ability to survive the wild ride.
