Chuck Domo, a 46-year-old husband, local businessman, dedicated taxpayer and father of three All-American teenage daughters has a deadly secret about his identity that he doesn't dare share with his wife, Stephanie, after 20-years of marriage. Brought to the United States illegally as a two-year-old toddler and subjected to a dangerous blackmail scheme, neither his wife, his daughters, nor any of his friends in their suburban Texas town know that jovial, middle-aged furniture salesman, Chuck Domo, was actually born Carlos Dominguez in a village in Mexico, 44-years earlier. Only two years old when he arrived, Chuck keeps the feared secret his whole life to protect those that he loves from the danger they would surely face if they only knew what he knew. But secret pasts have a way of crashing into the idyllic present. And, when United States Immigration agents invade his home and immediately deport him under the U.S. "Expedited Removal" policy to a dangerous Mexican border city, Chuck faces the struggle of his life, not only to hold his family together, but to survive one day at a time in a foreign land without any money, a phone or a functional ability to speak the language. While Stephanie, engages their lawyer to find a way to get him back home and their daughters struggle to cope with life without their father, Chuck must learn to stay alive in a dangerous foreign land with no means to pay for food, buy supplies, secure a roof over his head or even communicate.
