Heading deeper into his journey, Wally explores the comfort of cannabis and meets crazed militia members pitted against an all-female eco-terrorist tribe. A sacred coyote born of Mexican witchcraft and Sinaloan super saint Jesús Malverde also shows Wally the way. In the end Wally discovers a shocking legacy and eventual enlightenment.
