- Synopsis:
- A naive young guitar player (Carlos Gallardo) wanders into a godforsaken Mexican border town with only a guitar case in hand and a song in his heart, desperate to find work. Unfortunately for him, a dangerous fugitive named Azul (Reinol Martinez) is also walking around town with a guitar case; only his is filled with semi-automatic weapons, and a bullet saved especially for Moco, the ruthless drug lord that betrayed him. As Moco's henchmen scour the town in search of Azul, a high-stakes case of mistaken identity leaves the mariachi running for his life, with danger closing in on all sides.
