Synopsis
In the outcroppings of Ciudad Juarez lies a border town with one road in and one road out. Created to feed the factories with a never ending stream of slave labor, this town is subject to the whims of those who pass through it. Fifteen-year-old Memo does odd jobs to help his single mom make ends meet. Except his jobs are for the local gang factions; they are without glamour or notoriety. He does them because they pay better than any American owned factory nearby.
Enter Delia – one year older and a little bit cooler, she likes engineering and she's pretty hip to 'guys like Memo.' But to the surprise of both of them, they are more suited for one another than one would think.
As fate would have it, Memo oversleeps the day he's supposed to walk Delia to school and she is snatched off the street, one of many girls to disappear. Memo is forced to learn firsthand the dark truth that moves freely through their town.
