At the age of 14, Francisco Jiménez, together with his older brother Roberto and his mother, are caught by la migra.

During his college years, the very family solidarity that allowed Francisco to survive as a child is tested. Not only must he leave his family behind when he goes to Santa Clara University, but while Francisco is there, his father abandons the family and returns to Mexico.
