After a hurricane robs him of his pregnant wife and his home in Honduras, Pablo and Christina move to California to build a new life on their own. Dramatic events on the day of the Christina's sixth birthday will change their lives forever.

Pablo accidentally hits a little girl with his employer's truck. An illegal immigrant with no papers and no driving license, he is terrified and is forced to take his daughter on the run. They go undercover to escape a police manhunt which escalates when the injured girl dies. Along the way they are joined by Soid a story hungry documentary journalist who offers to help them get to Mexico, if they'll let her film their odyssey. The film tackles the issue of illegal immigration and how individuals deal with it. Ultimately Pablo is a loving and responsible parent who made one fatal mistake, but the system will hunt him down and make him pay for it. Jes
xs Nebot deserves praise firstly for taking on the script, direction and lead role, and secondly for creating a touching story, a thrilling chase and a socially aware drama all in one. AK
