Into Dust is a supernatural action-adventure in the vein of Smallville, a sort of Native American Wonder Woman: The Teenage Years.

A shy teenage girl living in an isolated US bordertown develops the abilities to fight back against the drug dealers who murdered her father.

The story follows Janey Santiago, her friend Pilar and her mysterious mentor Augusto Trueno as they try to keep their town safe from the drug wars. Problems occur when gangmember Oscar tries to recruit Janey's brother, Carlitos, into the gang. Outnumbered, Janey must find the power within her to save Carlitos and defeat the gangsters.

I have also written an hour-long pilot for Into Dust -- it appeals to a slightly different demographic-- it's darker and has more supernatural elements.

Check out all three episodes of Into Dust Season 1!

Watch individual episodes here. All of season one is available ON VIMEO. (But it may take a while to load.)
