Fernando is a Mexican with a mysterious past seeking asylum in the U.S. who is tagged with an ankle bracelet until his status is confirmed. He manages to find an illegal job on a Vermont dairy farm alongside fellow undocumented workers, Pablo, Juan and Carolina. What could have been a safe haven turns out to be the setting for modern day slavery, the threat of deportation or worse used as a means to abuse and exploit them. Fernando is compelled to do something about it but his action will have dramatic consequences for everyone.


Fernando es un mexicano con un pasado misterioso que busca asilo en los EE UU y que está marcado con un brazalete en el tobillo hasta que se confirme su estatus. Logra encontrar un trabajo ilegal en una granja lechera de Vermont junto con sus compañeros trabajadores indocumentados, Pablo, Juan y Carolina. Lo que podría haber sido un refugio seguro resulta ser el escenario de la esclavitud moderna, la amenaza de la deportación o algo peor, utilizada como un medio para abusar y explotarlos. Fernando se ve obligado a hacer algo al respecto, pero su acción tendrá consecuencias dramáticas para todos.
