Arriving in Miami, mother and daughter struggled to carve their own piece of the American dream. While life in the States is hard, it is safer, until Julia's rejects her boss's unwanted sexual advances. Suddenly'thanks to an "anonymous" tip to U. S. immigration authorities'she is arrested, locked in detention with criminals, and slated for deportation.
