He left her with two children and a large mortgage, giving her no option but to deal drugs.

Luckily for her, wildfires (and a gasoline can) helped ensure her house and life burned away, bringing Nancy and her family to the border town of Ren Mar, California.
In Ren Mar, Nancy takes a cross-border drug running job until she is promoted to running a store which secretly harbors a tunnel between California and Mexico. To make matters even more complicated, Nancy begins having a sexual relationship with Esteban (Demian Bichir), the mayor of Tijuana and boss of the tunnel and Guillermo (Giullermo Diaz) who employes Nancy.
