A cautionary tale that takes place in the very near future -- as in today. As the illegal and immoral I.C.E. raids spread and become more deadly, businessman Esteban, injured in a narrow escape from I.C.E. agents, must now hide in the suburban home of a white couple, one of whom is at least MAGA-adjacent. Can Esteban escape to freedom -- along with daughter Alicea -- before the arrival of the National Guard? Or before the allegedly reformed I.C.E. agent who's "helping" them decides to turn on them? A dark examination of right vs. wrong...and Left vs. Right.
