Fernando is a Mexican journalist and social activist seeking asylum in the U.S. who is tagged with an ankle bracelet until his status is confirmed. He manages to find an illegal job on a Vermont dairy farm alongside fellow undocumented workers, Pablo, Juan and Carolina.

What could have been a safe haven turns out to be the setting for modern day slavery, the threat of deportation or worse used as a means to abuse and exploit them. Fernando is compelled to do something about it but his action will have dramatic consequences for everyone.
