About the movie
Bernice (LisaGay Hamilton) and Fontayne (Yolonda Ross) grew up so close people said they could ``go for sisters``, but time sent them down different paths. Twenty years later, those paths cross: Fontayne is a recovering addict fresh out of jail, and Bernice is her new parole officer.
When Bernice`s son Rodney goes missing on the Mexican border, his shady associates all in hiding or brutally murdered, Bernice realizes she needs someone with the connections to navigate Rodney`s world without involving the policeand turns to her old friend. The pair enlist the services of disgraced ex-LAPD detective Freddy Surez (Edward James Olmos) and plunge into the dim underbelly of Tijuana, forced to unravel a complex web of human traffickers, smugglers, and corrupt cops before Rodney meets the same fate as his partners.
