Mad Love -- A love story of young college-bound teens on the verge of a breakdown.

A tiny town in New Mexico is turned upside down when the face of Jesus Christ appears on a tortilla in the towns only restaurant. Word of this miracle spreads like wildfire and people come from all over to worship, gawk, and to take advantage of the frenzy. Ideas of expansion and franchising abound, with everyone wanting to claim the tortilla for themselves. Soon the tortilla is merchandising heaven, complete with mugs and memorabilia. George Lopez, Jose Zuniga, and Olivia Hussey co-star in this comedy where family is against family, friends are against friends, and life becomes Tortilla Hell.

In the shadow of Mt. Rushmore, one of America's favorite tourist attractions, lies one of her poorest counties, The Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. For Police officer Rudy Yellow Lodge, the painful legacy of Indian existence is brought home every night as he locks up drunk and disorderly Indians, which frequently includes his own alcoholic brother, Mogie. Rudy's frustration with the alcoholism on the 'rez' leads him to take the law into his own hands, but his trail of vengeance ends tragically when he unwittingly injures Mogie. Ironically, their relationship achieves redemption after Rudy's tragic error in judgment, and the brothers begin the process of mending their fractured relationship. Ultimately, Rudy is able to honor his big brother, as well as his people, with one exhilarating and life-affirming act of defiance, revealing the redemptive power of the love between the two brothers.

A police officer patrolling one of the nation's poorest counties, the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, lashes out at the problems of poverty and alcoholism which plague his county and in doing so accidentally injures his older brother.
