Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Home from his freshman year of college, David is reunited with his childhood buddies Greg and George - the War Boys are together again. They used to sit in their pick up truck on the US-Mexican border waiting to chase illegal immigrants across the wasteland– just for fun. Now the boys hijack a semi hoping to sell what they think are black market televisions and make a quick buck.

“The heart knows no borders.”
