Description

El Paso, 1989: Alex Silva is a bored and disaffected teenager whose life is going nowhere fast. But instead of keeping his head down, Alex is distracted by some wealthy Mexican customers. Chasing the scent of money, he discovers that they are drug smugglers who bring marijuana into the US from Mexico. What follows is a coming-of-age story, as torture, imprisonment, falling in love, and a jailbreak conspire to finally make Alex a man. This show is joining Luminary.
