Hoping to become a Hollywood star, “El Chato” leaves San Ignacio, his idyllic hometown in the middle of nowhere. Ten years later, in 1982, a shipment of cocaine is dumped in the village. The Tijuana mafia enlists “El Chato” to retrieve the supply; if he doesn’t, the entire community of San Ignacio will be in danger. Upon his return, he is faced with the possibility of recovering his family and the son he didn’t know he had.
