In a post-apocalyptic future in which water has almost disappeared, two young survivors travel back in time to find the mythical power of the prehispanic God of water, and so be able to create the vital resource. However, when they arrive at the present they discover that the power is in the hands of an unscrupulous businessman who had always wanted to monopolize water and who knows everything about prehispanic myths. The Aztaya brotherhood, a group of heroes, successors from the legendary Aztec and Mayan warriors, will begin the adventure to prevent the villain's plan and help the travelers to change their sad future, teaming up to fight the powerful enemy and his dark allies. To win, the heroes will have to awake the greatest warriors of Aztec and Mayan mythology: The Eagle and the Jaguar.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Mike R. Ortiz spent six years securing funding specifically to avoid Hollywood sanitization of Aztec cosmology. The Tlaloc designs required approval from three different indigenous cultural advisors.
Roberto Palazuelos recorded his villain dialogue in a single four-hour session while visibly intoxicated, per crew interviews. The slurred menace was kept in final cut because it accidentally matched Axio's unhinged energy.
