A character-driven drama about three reunited friends whose youthful recklessness and moral blindness collide with the human consequences of border violence and their own unexamined desires.

Home from his freshman year of college, David is reunited with his childhood buddies Greg and George - the War Boys are together again. They used to sit in their pick up truck on the US-Mexican border waiting to chase illegal immigrants across the wasteland– just for fun. Now the boys hijack a semi hoping to sell what they think are black market televisions and make a quick buck.
