ABBY leaves jail, returning to an apartment in El Paso, Texas while she stays on probation. She lands a job as a waitress in a Mexican restaurant while she tries to rebuild her life and realize her dreams of being a mural painter. Meanwhile, her gangster ex RITA is aware of her return and goes in search for her.
Rita finds Abby, and Abby doesn’t know what to do. She can only count on MARCELA, a girl she met at a party before jail who has a crush on her and who is unaware of her time in jail. But after Marcela and Abby are targeted by Rita, they’re both protected by FBI agent WILKINSON and parole officer KATIA who take them in in the latter’s home. Rita ambushes them, killing Katia and forcing Marcela and Abby to escape as they cross the border from El Paso to Juárez. In Juárez, Abby stays at Marcela’s and they bond closer to each other. But Rita kidnaps their friend Alan. They manage to release him but this forces Abby to turn herself in to Rita so she can leave her family and friends alone. Her plan goes awry and Rita kidnaps and tortures both Abby and Marcela.
They escape and Abby calls Rita for a final showdown and ambush in her apartment with Wilkinson’s and Marcela’s help. They fight and although she’s gravely injured, Abby manages to defeat her and finally kills her with the help of Wilkinson and his crew. Months pass and Abby is fully back in Juárez, starting her artistic dreams with Marcela by her side.
