The grim reality of the current US immigration system through the eyes of Oscar, a 12-year-old schoolboy from Honduras, whose unwanted ties to a brutal gang have prompted his parents to smuggle him out of the country in the hope that he will escape to America and lead a better life under the protection of his uncle Manuel, a recent immigrant. However, Oscar is caught in the Arizona desert by border police and sent to a juvenile immigration center, where he tries regain control of his life inside a "wire box" and reach his dream destination.
