A young Mexican immigrant Pedro journeys to New York City in search of the father he's never met only to have his belongings and identity stolen by a conniving thief, Juan. As Pedro is left on his own, Juan cons his way into the home of Pedro's father, and finds a man just as flawed as he is.
While Juan attempts to reinvent himself, Pedro's only hope lies with a mysteriously complex prostitute, Magda (Paola Mendoza), as he frantically searches for his identity back.
Winner of the 2008 Jury Prize at Sundance, newcomer Christopher Zalla's provocative thriller exposes the dark side of the American dream.
