Both abel (nelson a.
rodriguez), who works in social services, and diego (andrew l.
saenz), an auto mechanic, have waited a long time for the love they have yearned for.
after several chance meetings the two finally hook up and quickly fall deeply for each other.
but diego has been hiding a secret: he s an undocumented immigrant and his repeated attempts to attain citizenship have led nowhere.
when word reaches him that his mother is dying, diego must decide whether or not to risk a trip back to mexico, knowing he may jeopardize his chances of returning to america and a future with abel.
what will abel do when he learns the truth? can their love survive the dangerous choice the couple ultimately makes? a remarkably prescient love story for our time, a place to be stirs both the heart and the head.
