• Drama

A former Marine, offered freedom through a dangerous impersonation, finds his life irrevocably altered not by the high-stakes drug trade he’s thrust into, but by the unexpected responsibility for the son of the man he’s pretending to be. This crime thriller distinguishes itself through a gritty, sun-soaked Baja California backdrop and a focus on the awkward, reluctant paternal bond that develops amidst escalating chaos and double-crosses. It’s a story less about the mechanics of a deal gone wrong, and more about a man grappling with unexpected connection and a fractured sense of self while constantly evading both criminals and the law. The film offers an unexpectedly melancholic tone, exploring themes of forced responsibility and finding fragile hope in the most desperate circumstances, presenting a morally ambiguous protagonist navigating a landscape of betrayal and survival.
