The film follows Elly (Lucy Hale), a botanist who is out in the desert surveying a plant that is not native to it. From the beginning, we are made aware of the fact that Elly is battling some personal demons. Her job turns into a form of personal exile, but then quickly turns into a nightmare. Elly witnesses a plane crash, and when checking on the occupants of the plane discovers a drug mule, Tomas (Leynar Gomez). Elly is now in for the fight of her life as she and Tomas are hunted by cartel member Guillermo (Jorge A. Jimenez).
