"Day Crosser" will highlight a poor migrant farming family from Mexico looking to escape the ruthless violence of the drug cartels. With a baby on the way, the couple hopes to start a new life in America - free from the fear and retribution by local crime lords.
A parallel storyline will focus on a recently discharged Afghanistan veteran suffering from Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and his journey for normalcy for his wife and young daughter. After he is rejected for a career as a border patrol guard, he's then persuaded to join the local militia group headed by a retired LAPD police officer with a questionable past.
When these opposite worlds collide on a hot, desert mountainside overlooking the Mexican/Arizona border, tragedy ensues, followed by an empathetic display of humanity and mercy.
