In a sunbaked border town, a grizzled veteran returns from a decade of quiet drift, carrying memories that weigh like old coins. He reunites with a scrappy local kid who dreams of escape, and their uneasy alliance pulls them into a fragile plan to cross a long-shuttered riverfront route. As they navigate the shifting loyalties of family, friends, and rivals, the past refuses to stay buried, surfacing through whispered warnings and late-night confessions. With a bent honesty and a stubborn sense of humor, they chase a distant horizon while confronting the choices that tether and define a life lived in the margins.
