Plot

In the gripping drama of Hostile Border, we follow Claudia, a 22-year-old undocumented immigrant who has lived her entire life in the U.S. She's ensnared in a distorted rendition of the American dream, living extravagantly beyond her means. However, her illusion of prosperity shatters when she's arrested by the FBI for credit card fraud, and swiftly deported to Mexico, a "homeland" foreign to her, where she doesn't even speak the language. In this unfamiliar land, Claudia finds herself seeking refuge at her estranged father's cattle ranch, the last place she ever imagined to be. A harsh reality sets in as she butts heads with her staunch, unyielding father, and her desperate attempts to return to the U.S. ensnare her in a perilous alliance with Ricky, a foreign smuggler brimming with dangerous promises. Caught in a maelstrom of conflict—her father's stern sermons, Ricky's seductive assurances, and the looming threat of the military—Claudia must traverse a razor-thin tightrope of daunting choices. As a compelling blend of slow-burning crime thriller and western, Hostile Border illuminates Claudia's transformative journey. This is a tale of a young woman forced to confront the grim cost of American ideals, finding herself stranded in the shadowy divide between two cultures.
