A grim, urgent thriller about human trafficking that balances procedural rescue narrative with the emotional weight of exploitation and familial bonds.

A Texas cop, whose own daughter might have been forced into sexual slavery, joins forces with a Mexican youth to find the boy's sister, who was abducted and forced into prostitution. Meanwhile, a Polish woman who was promised a better life in America also becomes a victim.
