Deep in the sun-blistered Sonora desert beneath a cicada tree, border
police discover a decomposing male body. Lifting a tattered T-shirt, they
expose a tattoo that reads “Dayani Cristal.” Who is this person? What
brought him here? And who–or–what is Dayani Cristal? Following a team of
dedicated staff from the Pima County Morgue in Arizona, director Marc
Silver seeks to answer these questions and return an identity to this
anonymous person. As the forensic investigation unfolds, Mexican actor
Gael García Bernal retraces the man’s steps along the migrant trail from
Honduras to the US-Mexico border. Unfolding like a thrilling crime drama,
the film builds to an emotionally devastating climax.
