Synopsis

Ethan, a young American journalist, travels to Mexico to write a story about the women of Juarez who want to escape to America. Known for its industrialization, drug trade and brutal crimes, Juarez has had over 500 women disappear since 1993; over 400 of them have been found murdered. When he finds Araceli, a young maquiladora worker, he goes against all ethics to help her cross over the border illegally in order to get his story.
