Lauren Fredricks is an ambitious newspaper reporter, who has been sent to Juarez by her editor 
to investigate what has happened to these hundreds of women and how the local police and authorities 
have been covering up the brutal rapes and murders. Lauren looks up her former colleague (and lover) 
Alfonso Diaz, who now runs the local paper, and they soon uncover one of the hottest stories of the 
year when they come across the only known survivor of one of these mysterious attacks. The victim is 
reluctant to speak, but Lauren convinces her to break the silence; yet the real danger is not the 
murder, but the larger forces who don't want the story told.
