Description
THOMAS BERTRAM is an American living in San Salvador with his fiancée CECILIA. They own a popular neighborhood restaurant and plan to wed soon. Thomas's dream is to obtain a resident visa for Cecilia and return to the United States.
Â
DOMINGO JIMENEZ and his wife, BLANCA, own a small repair shop across the street. Domingo's dream is to move to America so that his four-year-old daughter NANCY can grow up speaking English and have a good education and a better life than he and Blanca had.
Â
When armed gang members invade their neighborhood to demand "protection" money and threaten them with death if they don't pay, Thomas and Domingo's dreams for the future take on a new perspective. They decide to flee the country with their families through Guatemala and Mexico to seek asylum in the United States.
Â
But their journey is more challenging than expected, and they face a myriad of
difficulties and must overcome multiple obstacles that put not only their dreams but also their lives at risk.
