Synopsis

When Bill Jordan reluctantly answers a phone call from a Mexican work colleague on Christmas Eve at his home in southern Arizona, the lives of Bill and his wife Linda take an unexpected turn. The Garcia family from Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico, is stranded in their broken-down car at a local shopping center. The Jordans bring Pedro Garcia, his wife Carla, and their two young daughters to their spacious, comfortable home. They feed and house them for three days, show them some sites in the area, and Bill repairs the Garcias’ car. In return, Pedro completes the Jordans' partially finished outdoor brick gas grill, an unanticipated late Christmas present.

Several months later, the Garcias return to Arizona to visit the Jordans. Pedro and his brother Eduardo are paid well to complete two more unfinished grills in the Jordans’ neighborhood. At the same time, Carla teaches Linda and her friends how to make tamales, which they sell to neighbors. The Garcias are having an enjoyable and profitable visit to southern Arizona until a biased, neanderthal neighbor reports them to his employer, La Migra, US Immigration.

Will the Garcias be arrested, fined, and deported? Will the Jordans and Garcias remain friends, or will the negative experience with US Immigration tarnish their friendship and give the Garcias an adverse impression of the USA? How will the dynamics change in the Jordans’ barrio between neighbors?
