A buddy-adventure comedy that balances treasure-hunting fun with a moral reckoning over whether friendship or conscience should take priority.

Along the Mexico border, two friends search for a ghost ship rumored to be buried in the desert sand. In the same area, drug lords employ children; the duo must decide between going after the ship or saving a young girl held captive.
