Synopsis/Details
ASHLEY MOULDING, 24, still shows a hint of youthful glamour. But her violent eyes are sunken, surrendered, locked in solitude.
You see, she’s in love with ruggedly handsome PETE HAMILTON, 32, a cool customer with money rigged to his soul.
He tapes cocaine packets to her chest. Tightly. Prove your love, he says.
Just one more trip across the Mexican border and we’ll be struttin’ down easy street.
She crosses the Border.
Unsuccessfully.
The arrest is fast, furious and dehumanizing.
As a prisoner in a Mexican jail, Ashley must fight off unwanted sexual advances from the prison guard.
But in a surprise twist, the oppressed becomes the oppressor.
