Barlam is a shy guy in his 20s who works at a grocery store in El Paso, Texas.  The routine of the border city absorbs him, and lately, he has been feeling uncomfortable and restless with his life.  His sister Nati, a junkie, seems to be his closest relative until suddenly, he meets a young Puerto Rican guy who looks almost exactly like him.  Barlam becomes obsessed with this person—could he be a member of his broken family?
