A 24 hour period in the lives of Fausto and Jesus, two undocumented Mexican day-labourers in L.A. Each day another task, each day the same pressure to find money. They go about their daily routine, standing on the corner at the Home Improvement Store waiting for work to come.

Today, the job they are given is well paid campared to their poor usual wages.

Today, Jesus carries a shotgun inside his backpack.
