History
Carlos needs to cross the border to the United States with the hope of having a better life. His family has already made it
across and now he has got money to pay the coyotes (illegal people crossers) and cross the border illegally too. However,
along the way, the coyotes abandoned him to his own devices and he will have to face the dangers and challenges alone to
find his family.

music] and 3 buttons (Play, Options and Exit). By clicking on Play [sound: clicking], an introduction screen will be displayed
