After crossing the US border, two undocumented immigrants must run for their lives while being hunted by two vigilante minutemen.
Every year, thousands of undocumented immigrants make the arduous trip north to the United States. Crossing the border illegally, many of these travelers must come face-to-face with the endless deserts of New Mexico, the towering fences of southern California, or the US Border Patrol that watches over both sides of la frontera. A young man named Chuy, leaving behind his ill father and headstrong girlfriend, embarks on this dangerous journey so he can help those that he loves.
Led by two coyotes, Chuy joins a group that sets out to cross in the middle of the night. With a bit luck, they are able to enter the United States unnoticed. However, gunshots soon ring out and the group scatters as bodies begin to drop. Chuy find himself alive with only two other survivors-- Jose, a no-nonsense former soldier, and Felix, a coyote whos been shot in the leg. The three make it to daybreak, agreeing to continue their journey northbound. As the sun begins to beat down on them, Felix stops to rest when suddenly-- he is shot and killed. Chuy and Jose discover that they are being hunted by two vigilante minutemen who have given themselves the task of murdering anyone that crosses the border. These men, fully armed and traveling in their truck, begin their manhunt of Jose and Chuy, who must decide to either run or fight. And even if they survive, they must still find a way across the long, hot desert in search of a better life.
