    Esperanza is a grieving widow who loses her daughter Blanca to a rare virus. After a vision of St. Jude convinces her that Blanca is still alive, Esperanza embarks on a determined quest to find her. Despite skepticism from her roommate and others, she believes her daughter was kidnapped and sold into a brothel in Tijuana. Her journey takes her across Mexico, where she faces various challenges, including being robbed. In Tijuana, she uncovers disturbing truths but fails to find Blanca.
