A modern day fable, based on the classic Don Quixote, set in a small town on the Texas-Mexican border. On one side, a gang of vigilante ranchers stands dead-set on rounding up illegal aliens crossing the border. On the other, an elementary school history teacher, obsessed with America’s revolutionary past and by the need to stand up for his radical beliefs. Frustrated by his failure to change the minds of the citizens of Borderland, the teacher’s passion throws him over the edge and into a rebellious alter ego still fighting the American Revolution. In the name of Lady Liberty, this modern day Don Quixote rides courageously towards a confrontation with the ranchers, and his date with destiny.

Brody Campbell has failed as a writer, a father, a friend, and a lover. Shortly after the wedding of a childhood friend (and former lover), Brody begins to realize that something strange and terrible is beginning to happen around him… people are disappearing without a trace, and only Brody seems to remember that they existed at all. Brody soon finds that there is a specific pattern to these disappearances, and must struggle to protect those he cares about the most from forces he may never understand. Equal parts supernatural mystery and moving drama, this haunting, thoughtful film will resonate long after the credits roll.
