Cautiously seeking fun, adventure and lobster

Bold, brash, loves to challenge and laugh his ass off. A human machine gun.

Juana – 30, Mexican
Married to Efren, an assault rifle hangs form her shoulder for equal rights.

Vivia – 19, Mexican
An inept stripper and bargirl, she becomes a coyote. Inexperienced, perhaps innocent.
