Jesus and Fausto, two low-paid Mexican laborers working illegally across the border in LA, are offered big money and a sawn-off shotgun to break into the home of a drug addicted single mother and take her hostage.
A 24 hour period in the lives of Fausto and Jesus, two undocumented Mexican day-laborers in L.A. Each day another task, each day the same pressure to find money. They go about their daily routine, standing on the corner at the Home Improvement Store waiting for work to come. Today, the job they are given is well paid compared to their poor usual wages. Today, Jesus carries a shotgun inside his backpack.—ximena-2
