And they thought getting here was tough...

Two brothers leave their home in Mexico in search of the 'American Dream', only to realize it was in front of them all the time.

His older brother, Carlos, has plans of his own and they don't involve leaving home. When Angel tells his older brother of his grand scheme Carlos knows he won't be able to stop him, so he decides to tag along in order to watch over his headstrong little brother. Double-crossed by a smuggler, they find themselves alone in the desert.
