The film stars Eva Longoria, Michael Peña, Ed Harris and Amy Madigan. ==Plot== On the border between the U.S. and Mexico, Miguel Ramirez (Michael Peña) crosses the border illegally for work. Upon entering the United States, he meets Olivia (Amy Madigan), the wife of Roy (Ed Harris), a former sheriff and the owner of the land Miguel is currently passing through. Olivia gives him and his companion Carl water and a blanket, and departs after telling them there is a highway not too far away where they can try to stop a ride. Shortly afterwards, local boys who are out to shoot Mexican illegal immigrants to scare them start shooting at Miguel and Carl. Olivia rides back to investigate, but the shots scare the horse she was riding and she falls and hits her head on a rock. Miguel tries to help while Carl runs off, but is scared away by Roy who came because of the gunfire. Olivia is pronounced dead by the paramedics, and Carl joins two other ilegal Mexican immigrants who break into an American family's house, stealing food, money and a car from them. Meanwhile, Carl finds a job gardening. A grieving Roy starts investigating his wife's death for which he first accuses Miguel for, thinking he was trying to steal her horse. He finds the bullet shells the boys left behind, as well as a vigilante who shoots illegal Mexican immigrants. Roy tries to ride after the vigilante's vehicle but can not catch it. Carl is arrested by state troopers and is arrested and deported to Mexico. The local police inform Roy that his wife's riding blacket was found in the car. Meanwhile a cop identifies Miguel based on a description Roy gave the police and arrests him. He is taken into police custody since he is regarded as the prime suspect in Olivia's death and is to be tried for first degree murder.

Paulina is raped on the way to the United States and is taken captive for a ransom her family cannot pay. Roy visits Miguel in his cell, and hears his side of the story. Touched by Miguel's work ethic, he tries to help him find his wife. Roy confronts one of the parents of the boys who caused Olivia's death, a sheriff himself, and finally convinces him to drop the murder charges against Miguel. Paulina is found by chance in an empty house and is reunited with her family. and Roy offers Miguel a job repairing the broken fence between his land and Mexico. They agree to meet each on his side of the fence so Roy can pay Miguel and Miguel can do the repairs from Mexico. Miguel thanks Roy for the new job and sets to work immediately.
