Official synopsis
Ray Eddy vive em um trailer no interior do estado de Nova York. Tímida e reservada, ela enfrenta problemas para manter a família unida após seu marido ter sumido com o dinheiro que seria usado como entrada para a compra da casa de seus sonhos. Para conseguir a quantia Ray se une a Lila Littlewolf, uma contrabandista, e passa a atravessar ilegalmente imigrantes pela fronteira entre o Canadá e os Estados Unidos. O percurso segue o congelado rio St. Lawrence, com as duas transportando chineses e paquistaneses no porta-malas do carro de Ray.
