In Mexico, an American named Alan is lying low. We're not sure what it is he is lying low from but we do know he has a less than moral past. He's running small time drugs in Mexico to survive. He needs the money. It's that simple. He uses a local boy to run his errands, but when that boy is killed because of Alan's shady dealings, it signifies the end of Alan's immoral life. Alan is struggling with himself, caught between a need for survival and his own morals that are beginning to resurface after having been drowned in darkness for so long.
