In modern-day America, 22-year-old DACA recipient Camila Herrera is thrown into crisis when her undocumented mother is detained by ICE. Desperate to save her, Camila reaches out to her estranged father Jorge, who was deported years ago and now lives in Tijuana under a false name. He illegally crosses the border to help, and father and daughter — virtual strangers — embark on an emotional road trip across the Southwest, trying to reach her mother’s immigration hearing in time. Along the way, they stop in Tucson to stay with Rafael, Jorge’s disillusioned cousin and a former immigration activist who warns them that hope is a dangerous thing. With ICE closing in, Jorge is captured again, and Camila must face the system alone. When her mother chooses deportation over indefinite detention, Camila is left to start over — hollowed out but quietly defiant. A slow-burning, devastating portrait of family, memory, and survival in a country that never fully lets you belong.
