Summary
To escape the violent cartel that is after them in Ciudad Juárez, siblings Sara and Emiliano flee across the border, seeking a better life in the United States. Now Sara is being held indefinitely in a detention facility, awaiting an asylum hearing that may never come, finding it harder every day to hold on to her faith and hope. Emiliano had entered the country illegally, and everywhere he goes, it's clear that he doesn't belong. As the cartel closes in on them, Emiliano sets off on a tense and dangerous race to find justice. -- adapted from jacket
