"A woman comes to the U.S. from Latin America to escape her shady
past, only to fall into a new shady life. After a go at the adult
entertainment business, Maria marries a drug lord and her dangerous
past is nothing compared to her new life in America. The drug lord's
son, Gorgo, secretly falls in love with her and he watches over her
like a guardian angel. Danger and corruption (and of course sex) drive
the first half of this love story.
Long-time Love and Rockets readers will find the storyline familiar... and that’s because, in an Adaptation-style meta twist, Maria M.
is actually the B-movie film adaptation of the life story of Luba's
mother Maria, as previously seen in its "real" version in the classic
graphic novel Poison River (available in the Beyond
Palomar collection) - starring Maria's own daughter playing her own mother."
