Beschreibung
When Delaney Mossbacher knocks down a Mexican pedestrian, he neither reports the accident nor takes his victim to hospital. Instead the man accepts $20 and limps back to poverty and his pregnant 17-year-old wife. But these two men are fated against each other, as Delaney attempts to clear the land of the illegal immigrants.
