Sophie lives on the border between the United States and Mexico. She spends most of her time taking care of her little sister and
working at the family restaurant, hoping to catch the eye of Ruben, the Mexican boy who delivers baked goods. Her father and
uncle spend their free time scouring the desert as part of a civilian militia, hoping to stop undocumented immigrants from entering
the United States. When Sophie becomes involved with an immigrant-aid organization called Human Kind, it challenges everything
she’s ever known. Suddenly, Sophie is stuck at the borderline of family and justice.
