Una deslumbrante novela sobre una familia mexicano-americana en Brownsville, Texas, que, por un acto de compasión, acaba involucrada en el tráfico de inmigrantes mexicanos a los Estados Unidos.

A distancia, muchas ciudades fronterizas entre los Estados Unidos y México tienen fama de ser peligrosas —a un lado los narcotraficantes, y al otro los agentes de la patrulla fronteriza—y Brownsville no es la excepción. Pero para Orly, un niño de doce años, es simplemente donde vive su madrina, Nina—y a donde su padre lo manda a pasar el verano con ella tras la súbita muerte de su madre.

Para Nina, Brownsville es la ciudad donde creció, conoció y perdió a su primer y único amor, y acabó quedándose, despidiendo a familiares que se marchaban y presenciando el deterioro de su vecindario. Es el lugar donde ha enterrado sus secretos y donde ahora esconde otro aún mayor: está ocultando a un joven migrante llamado Daniel, que ha cruzado la frontera huyendo del peligro, solo para encontrar mayores peligros del otro lado.

Separado de los traficantes violentos que lo cruzaron, y perseguido por las autoridades, Daniel tiene que mantenerse completamente invisible, escondido en la casa de atrás de Nina. Pero cuando Orly descubre su presencia, la conexión inmediata de los niños—y su deseo compartido de ser independientes— los pone a todos en riesgo de ser descubiertos.
