Kate Bosworth-Produced Human Trafficking Drama Opens 12/7 in NYC, 12/14 in LA

Nona (Sulem Calderon), a young woman in a shantytown in Honduras meets Hecho (Jesy McKinney), a handsome traveler who claims to be nursing a broken heart. Intrigued by his carefree wanderlust, she takes him up on his offer to leave Honduras behind and head toward the United States, where she can finally reunite with her mother. As the pair travels north by car, by bus, by boat, and by foot through Guatemala and Mexico, Nona's world seems to gloriously open up, as she dreams of opportunity and happiness a few countries away. But when Hecho's true intentions slowly become clear, her journey turns perilous.
