Engaging, gritty drama.

In Honduras, a man, his son and daughter set out to get into the United States and ultimately New Jersey, where his wife and remainder of his family are. Their journey will take them through Guatemala and Mexico.

Meanwhile, in Southern Mexico, a young man is struggling to reconcile his membership of a gang and his personal life. Soon, circumstances will force his and the three Hondurans' paths to converge, for better or worse...

A good story, well told. A story of overcoming hardship, doing the right thing, loyalty and what some people go through in order to migrate to another country.

Not perfect - there was an inevitability and predictability about the plot and it felt contrived at times.

Good performances all round.
