Francisco is a middle-aged Cuban immigrant working at a holding house. Cecilia is a ten-year-old Mexican girl who ends up there with no family members to fend for her. When Cecilia ends up on her own, she turns the desert into a fantastical world – creating characters and stories to make the hopelessness of the empty landscape a survivable habitat. Through navigating what was supposed to be their promise land, both Francisco and Cecelia find a common hope in each other while journeying through the hauntingly beautiful and desolate world that is Lake Los Angeles.
