Em uma tentativa desesperada para cruzar a fronteira EUA – México, Manolo e sua esposa Elena são sequestrados, separados e presos em uma casa nos subúrbios do Arizona. Seus captores são criminosos altamente organizados que operam num vasto anel de sequestro ao longo da fronteira dos Estados Unidos, fazendo a extorsão de suas vítimas através do medo, intimidação e humilhação.
Imagine leaving everything you have, everyone you know, everyone you love, behind. Having to cross half a continent on foot, atop freight trains, inside truck trailers. Swimming across wild rivers. Crossing borders illegally. Walking across the Arizona desert. Being shot at, robbed and beaten. Raped. Surviving it all. Crossing into the USA, after life in the poorest parts of Central America. Succeeding. Now. In the “promised” land, you don’t belong, legally; or socially. You don’t understand the language. No one knows you arrived, no one knows you exist. Imagine…. being Nobody. Then imagine a bag being shoved over your head. Getting your clothes stripped from you. Getting tossed in a closed room with a dozen others. A loaded gun is pointed at your head. You are forced to call back home and beg for money, a ransom for your life.
