Synopsis

The documentary follows Elvis Leon, as he tries to reconnect with his father, Orlando, after his release from captivity. Orlando returns with a martyr-like drive to seek justice through legal means, and when that fails, nothing will stop him from getting revenge. Formerly diagnosed with PTSD as a result of his war experience, Elvis notices his father is dealing with the same symptoms that he once struggled with and he must now help him. This story focuses on the relationship between a father and son, the closure of a traumatic event, and the struggle to survive their road trip from Denver, Colorado to Guatemala.
