Juan, Sara and Samuel are teenagers from the slums of Guatemala. With dreams of a better life, they embark on a journey to the United States. In preparation for the trip, Sara cuts off her long hair to disguise herself as a boy. On their way through Mexico, they meet Chauk, an indian boy from Chiapas who doesn't speak Spanish. Together these young travelers hop cargo trains and trek along railroad tracks, ever north. As they encounter swindlers, kidnappers, and corrupt cops, they must face a harsh nightmarish reality of their “golden dream.”
