Plots: Two Texas cowboys head to Mexico in search of work, but soon find themselves in trouble with the law after one of them falls in love with a wealthy rancher’s daughter. After John loses his family ranch, the cowboy sets off for Mexico with his friend Lacey to start a new life. But the journey holds unforeseen dangers. In Mexico, a passionate love blossoms between John and Alejandra, the daughter of a wealthy rancher. But their forbidden love is frowned upon, and Mexican outlaws repeatedly drag John into life-and-death battles. Two young Texas cowboys on the cusp of manhood ride into 1940’s Mexico in search of experience. What they find is a country as chaotic as it is beautiful, as cruel and unfeeling as it is mysterious, where death is a constant, capricious companion.
