Summary: Jaime Rivera, a young Guatemalan immigrant, faces the harsh realities of life in the U.S. without papers. While his cousin Ángela adapts quickly, Jaime feels lost and disconnected. Haunted by troubling news from home and unable to return due to gang violence, he questions his place in this new world. As he grapples with identity and belonging, unexpected allies—a quiet bus rider, a music teacher, and a ranch worker—offer glimmers of hope. With his sketchbook in hand, Jaime begins to redefine what it means to truly belong.
