He boards alone, carrying nothing but a change of clothes and his violin.

Arizona, 2019. Eight decades later, Anita Daz and her mother board another train, fleeing looming danger in El Salvador and seeking refuge in the United States. But their arrival coincides with the new family separation policy, and seven-year-old Anita finds herself alone at a camp in Nogales.

Meanwhile, Selena Durn, a young social worker, enlists the help of a successful lawyer in hopes of tracking down Anita’s mother.
