Synopsis
After their friend is deported to Mexico, two young Americans decide to smuggle him back across the border, a single event that quickly escalates into a lucrative, full-time business venture that becomes more complicated than they ever realized possible. Corruption and greed lead the men down a path of brutal destruction and despair. Figuring they can make a couple thousands dollars by sneaking Mexicans into America, Steve and J begin a lucrative operation as suburban smugglers, offering immigrant-hopefuls three beneficial "travel packages" that guarantee to help refugees get into the United States, live with forgotten family members, and find a decent job. They navigate their way through the lavish lives of suburban human smugglers with unexpected humor and stylish cinematography.
