Twelve-year-old Mateo lives in Mexico with his grandmother, mother and younger brother Lucas. His father has passed away and his older brother Julian went north in search of work. Julian is currently employed as a builder and is constructing a skyscraper in Arkansas. One day, one of the village boys that worked with Julian appears at the family’s door and tells Julian’s mother that ICE conducted a raid and Julian is missing.
