During her summer break, Latina teacher Dina Salazar joins good friend and housemate, Private Investigator Gil Luna, and a federal joint-task team in locating some of the illegal, unaccompanied minor children who crossed the US border over a four-year period. Their task is to determine their well-being and help them find families or shelter as well as rescue those who have been trafficked by criminals. What Dina and Gil find is both heartening and heartbreaking, and as they encounter a cunning and diabolical drug/sex trafficker, the threats to their own safety ignite emotions between them that had lain dormant. From Los Angeles County to an Arizona ranch of dangerous smugglers, Dina and Gil push the boundaries of "friends without benefits" as they test their own moral consciences.
