Tavo and Marina dream of a better life in New York, but in Bogotá they scrape a living as pocket‑pickers at the airport, sending money home. Dealer Oskar tempts them to swallow drug packages for a one‑way flight, despite Marina’s sister having perished on a similar trek. They board with nerves grinding them down, and upon landing in New York their hopes begin to crumble as the harsh reality of their perilous gamble sets in.
