Follows Jesús, a young Mexican boy whose dreams of becoming a soccer star are shattered when he’s trafficked across the border and sold to a sweatshop making fast fashion in downtown Los Angeles. Forced to adhere to the grueling work schedule dictated by El Jefe, a boss who promises freedom for those who complete their quotas, Jesús finds solace in Elena, a girl who was similarly betrayed and sold into slavery. When she goes missing and another coworker is severely beaten, Jesús realizes that the only way to save himself and the others is to fight back, even if it costs him his life.
