Desierto Sur<br />
S<strong>of</strong>ia is a top-ranked swimmer who is taking part in a major competition when she gets<br />
word that her mother has died. S<strong>of</strong>ia is devastated by the news, and while going through<br />
her late mother's effects she discovers that for many years her mother was having an<br />
affair with a man living in the desert community <strong>of</strong> Desierto Sur. S<strong>of</strong>ia wants to meet the<br />
man who meant so much to her mom, and sets out to find him with no idea <strong>of</strong> his current<br />
address or even if he's still alive. While making her way to Desierto Sur, S<strong>of</strong>ia picks up a<br />
traveling companion, a hitch-hiking punk rocker named Nadia, but when the two catch a<br />
ride with Gustavo, their luck takes a turn for the worse as they discover he's a drug runner<br />
wanted by the law.<br />
