When three treasure hunters drive into a barren Mexican desert in search of a GOLDEN BELL, they discover their biggest challenge isn't the harsh environment or the local bandits but the darkness in themselves.

Aqua is a young performance artist, a self-styled bohemian among a community of fellow young women artists. The story follows her efforts to pursue her passion, despite pushback from her community and complications when she falls in love with her best friend, Becca, despite already having a boyfriend. Aqua is forced to confront difficult questions about who she is and what she wants in life before finally making her choice and living with the consequences. Aqua’s dream is to perform at upscale galleries and museums, but for now, she is performing on beach sidewalks, at farmer’s markets, and even at an art store.
