Emotionally distraught from losing custody of her son Georgie and running out of options to win him back, single mother Ashley becomes desperate when she loses her job. So when the opportunity arises to become a “coyote,” smuggling illegal immigrants over the Texas border, she takes it. The risky experience results in unforeseen consequences, as Ashley forges an intense bond with a young Mexican girl from Oaxaca who forces her to confront her past and look to the future.
