Jeb Maynard is a patrolman guarding the U.S.-Mexican border, whose partner and buddy Scooter has just been murdered. Maynard knows that a smuggler of illegal aliens is responsible for Scooter's death, but the feds insist that drug dealers committed the crime.

VIBE

A grim, determined pursuit of justice on the unforgiving border. This film feels like a dusty, sun-baked procedural, where every step is fraught with danger and moral ambiguity. It’s a raw look at duty and loss.
