Plot
[edit | edit source]A group of undocumented workers hired by a wealthy American couple are held against their will at the couple’s secluded mansion, and must fight to prove they are not expendable and cannot be discarded so easily.
It is revealed that the couple hired illegal immigrant workers to build their various properties and then killed them like slaves. After the three workers are killed, the surviving member Alexandro turned the table and killed the husband by choking him to death. He confronted the wife but she escaped until he shoots her dead. He then steals the couple's money to give it to a human smuggler to get his family to the US.[3][4]
