Bordertown Plot and Cast
Under the North American Free Trade Agreement, American corporations set up large maquiladoras across the U.S.-Mexico border, employing mostly Mexican women for long hours at little pay to produce mass quantities of goods. Lauren Adrian, an impassioned reporter for the Chicago Sentinel, hopes to cover the Iraq war, but her editor George Morgan instead sends her to investigate a string of slayings involving young maquiladora factory women in a Mexican bordertown.
