CHRISTMAS EVE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MOVAJE DESERT. The U.S. Border Patrol and a Mexican Policeman find a murder victim somewhere near the border. Nobody knows who the victim is, nor the killer. When both parties refuse to accept jurisdiction of the case, the story evolves into a reflection of the authorities' indifference about the suffering of the Illegal Immigrants to the U.S. These people not only have to guard themselves against a corrupt police system on both sides of the border, but also against the same coyotes to whom they pay in exchange for their help, and even civil Americans who take the Law in their own hands. Meanwhile politics and bureaucrats, always too busy working for their own interest, preach and pretend to be looking for a solution to this problem. It's time to bring to light the major consequences of Illegal Immigration, an issue that affects, direct or indirectly, to a great majority of the Hispanic population in the U.S.
