A 30-year-old inebriated American, who smuggles firearms into Ciudad Juárez as his occupation, stumbles upon a young Mexican boy separated from his mother during an attempt to cross the border. In search of a path to reunite the pair, the American hesitantly agrees to conceal the child in his vehicle and transport him to El Paso. However, complications arise when he discovers the boy is not a typical immigrant, but the offspring of a notorious cartel figure whose mother had escaped with him under the cover of darkness. Upon successfully reaching El Paso, the American faces a difficult choice: save himself by returning the child to Mexico or risk igniting a border conflict to reunite him with his mother. Multiple Film Festival awards.
