This harrowing film demonstrates the harsh living conditions which  drive some people such as young Maria to undertake the dangerous task of becoming a drug mule.   Dethorning roses for an ungrateful boss, the 17 year decides that she can do better by moving to Bogota.  

On the way into the city she is persuaded to smuggle drugs into New York with her friend Blanca.   The problems start on arrival at the airport in the US;  from then on it is a struggle for survival for the young girl who had thought that the money she earned from this mission would help her achieve her dreams.
