Two young Americans, Pauli and Daniel, journey via motorcycle across the border into Mexico to visit a bar next to the infamous El Diablo prison. Pauli starts a fight with off-duty guards and is locked up. When Daniel realizes the corrupt guards are demanding a steep bribe, he rounds up their SoCal friends—including surfers and skateboarders—to stage a daring breakout.
