In the desert bordering Colombia and Venezuela, gasoline smugglers known as “pimpineros” risk their lives transporting illegal fuel from one country to another. When Juan – the youngest in a clan of three brothers entangled in this perilous trade – is forced to work for a sinister rival, the underbelly of the business is laid bare with tragic consequences. Determined to uncover the gruesome secrets that shroud this no-man’s-land, Juan’s girlfriend Diana embarks on a quest for the truth.
