Summary |
The film unfolds with documentary-like precision as it details the human impact of drug cartels in Northern Mexico. Cielo learns her daughter Laura has been kidnapped when a baby-faced teenager orders her to pay 150,000 pesos if she wants to see Laura again. With no police support, Cielo embarks on her own investigation, peeling back layers of Mexico's societal corruption in an increasingly desperate effort to save her child. |
