Twin brothers Ernesto and Raul flee north when Ernesto becomes involved in the gangs of El Salvador. In the United States, they disover an entirely different way of life that they must learn to navigate.
The United States cannot at once be isolationist – build a wall, kill the dreade deals – and global, selectively reaping the benefits of an international economy, like low-cost imports, cut-rate outsourced workforce, and cheap labor in our fields here at home.
