Here we are introduced to the manifold characters caught in the struggle: Luis Ruiz, who dreams of reuniting with his mother; Freddy Quintanilla, unable to confront his only lifeline to his family in Mexico; Araceli Lucio and her cursed progeny; El Rey and his demands for things to stay as they are. These intersecting lives bound by the absence of control populate the turnstile narrative running through
