This is a story of the strength it takes to bring family together while learning life's sometimes most difficult lessons. Dolores, a mother desperate to bring her youngest son, June, to the U.S. to join her and her oldest son, Ronnie, struggles to convince him of the many opportunities he would have moving away from the country. She is heartbroken as she watches her teenage son refuse her offer and follow a downward spiral of bad choices leading him into gambling and drug sales in his impoverished town of Minglanilla. When June moves in with his aunt, the mayor of the town, who vows to reform his rebellious ways, he meets Cora, who works on his aunt's estate and is smitten from the moment he sees her. His life starts to spin out of control when the town drug lord, Allan, puts a death warrant on his head, his family continues to beg him to come to the U.S. for safety and he is forced to choose between the girl he loves in the city he's always called home and his family's dreams for his future in America.
