A construction boom in Texas drives urban sprawl and luxury high-rises, but behind the scenes, immigrant labor is being abused. A movement forms to fight construction industry injustices, as a Mexican family campaigns for a safety ordinance after their son's death, a Salvadorian couple fights for back pay to secure their children's future, and a bereaved son battles to prevent others from suffering the same tragedy. The film reveals shocking truths about the hardworking immigrants who build the American Dream, but are excluded from it.
