The film tells the tale of Max Kennedy, a Minuteman, modern day outlaw and ant-establishment dissident, whose life is tracked over a period of one year. It captures his gritty life on the vast, unforgiving U.S-Mexico Border and follows him through to his departure and return to civilization. Woven into the main narrative and serving as a backdrop, are scores of colorful and fascinating characters on both sides of the divide, literally and metaphorically, whose individual stories cast a penetrating light on the U.S-Mexico border issue, human trafficking, first-world poverty and right wing hate politics.
