Poor, Mexican girl meets upper-class white boy. Older sister who seems “perfect” and quiet and reserved, but whose secrets reveal a girl that was not as she seemed. Younger sister who is loud and imperfect, but whose secrets remain deadly if they aren’t revealed and dealt with.
Parents whose dreams of life in the US lead to heartbreak, and a daughter who needs to return to Mexico to find her own dreams. An older generation that wants their children to have it better, yet doesn’t want them to change. A younger generation that wants change, yet doesn’t want to disappoint their parents.
And no one talks about their feelings or listens until they are forced to! A push and a pull between two countries, two sisters, two generations, and a whole lot of emotions!
