It's the very near future, and the Trump administration has carried out his campaign promise to round up and detain millions of immigrants.

This riveting, harrowing and illuminating drama delivers a powerful warning and puts a human face on the inhuman, revealing how when personal accountability is denied, what seems inconceivable becomes inevitable.
