After his first child is born, Roberto, a young Mexican man, crosses into the United States to find work that will support his family back home. Once there he discovers that long hours and hard labor are insufficient; lack of legal status, language barriers and exploitative conditions keep him trapped in a cycle of poverty and uncertainty.
