Desperate to escape the rampant crime and violence of South America, Zoe and her adult son Ben have navigated a treacherous path of deceit, murder, and rape for the chance of a better life in the United States. A brutal coyote gets them across the border, but the authorities are close by. Barely escaping arrest and deportation, the two find themselves unexpectedly in the care of an unlikely benefactor: a writer of erotic stories cruising the border looking for a couple of illegals to employ as servants. Posing as a family, the trio make their way to the writer's remote home, where he tells them there is a condition to their employment: he is a nudist and expects them to join the lifestyle.
With limited options, mother and son agree to the unusual arrangement. Living in a world of hypersexualized taboo erotica and constant nudity, Zoe and Ben find there is much more to the American Dream than they ever realized.
