Ricky Delgado longs for the same things every American citizen wants: A steady job, a nice home, a decent place to raise a family. The problem is, he's in the United States illegally, so these things might be out of reach. But, for now, he has a good start. For eight months, he's been working at a poultry plant in South Texas. It's filthy, miserable work, but the pay is steady, and Ricky is trying to save enough money to buy a used truck. Unfortunately, a man named Herschel Gandy is about to make Ricky's life more difficult. The Gandy family owns a ranch on the banks of the Rio Grande, and Herschel is fed up with the constant flow of illegal aliens crossing his land. They cut fences and kill his livestock. They leave a trail of garbage. They steal things. Herschel has decided to do something about it. Ricky is at work when he gets the news. His brother, Tomas, was shot as he attempted to enter the country. Tomas is alive, but seriously injured. Ricky is angry, of course, but to step forward and report the crime could jeopardize his chance for the American dream. But he decides it's the right thing to do. Because now he wants something even more important than a home or a job. He wants justice
