A young boy stranded at the local juvenile facility where Abel Mendoza is working leads Abel on an unexpected journey when he volunteers to drive the boy, David, home to his rancho in the mountains of central Mexico . Abel discovers a family disabled by the hardships of poverty and isolation in a small community, where he becomes trapped by a flooded river that blocks his return to civilization. David lives with his mother, two brothers, and two sisters, while their father works most of the year in the agriculture fields of the United States. Abel struggles to understand this family's difficult choices when he discovers Reymundo, the oldest son, who is cripplingly disabled. The family soon convinces Abel that although Reymundo is unable to move except for his arms and fingers, he is able to communicate, and Abel becomes convinced that medical experts could help improve Reymundos' life. The problem is that this lonely community has no electricity, and because of his disability, Reymundo cannot be moved. When the father returns home for his annual months-long stay, he has also become convinced that Reymundo's life could be improved with modern medicine and technology. Together, they launch a campaign to bring electricity to the community to help Reymundo.
