Javier arrived in the United States many years back, in the hopes of ensuring a better future for himself and his sick mother. Even though his status in his adopted country has always been precarious, he has come to love the life he built for himself, which is why, when faced with the threat of deportation, he decides to go for the one possible solution: marrying Amy, who is an American citizen. That is, until Oliver is suddenly standing at his front door, reopening a chapter of his life Javier thought long gone. During a night of unexpected encounters and reckonings, Oliver’s presence upturns all of Javier’s neatly laid out plans.
