The film takes place in a small Texas town near the Rio Grande, where local police patrol for human smugglers tied to Mexican cartels. Instead of arresting immigrants, they gather intel on the smugglers. The story follows three officers as they navigate the complexities of their existence on the border, where the area they patrol was once Mexican territory. The film explores the mutual dependence between police and smugglers, with immigrants caught in the middle, and the human cost of border enforcement taking a personal toll.
