Mary is an on-the-road DJ who drives a music-van to small towns in Mexico to play for Holiday Fiestas. Unwillingly Mary hauls Jacques towards the border. The chase begins. Then MIRACLES starts to happen...Jacque's bull-wound disappears. Laila keeps re-appearing to her father, Cordobes. An ANGLE-LADY starts popping up in the night to guide Jacques - finally she materializes to tell Jacques and Mary that Mary is pregnant with the Next Messiah. Is this turning into a dream? It's for sure intentionally outrageous. The story climaxes on Christmas Eve. In an underground parking lot.

He's got to drop his drifting life - and save Mary and the new-born child. And (maybe) save the world. Jacques is caught. Not sure he can handle this. He's just an ordinary Joe. And this is still Earth, remember?"
