But a darker side to their living is the underground family business of stealing construction equipment to support their vices and financial problems, in a small town lacking opportunity, that is passed on from father to son for a third time. This tight-knit family begins to collapse as stakes get higher and their larceny gets riskier. They are faced with the consequences and question their true values and whether these family habits, tolerated by the matriarch Lupe Rios, are worth the danger imposed on their children and others that depend on them.
