Dick and Ron live within a few miles of the US-Mexico border, and both men frame defending it as a matter of personal safety and belief rather than abstract policy. The film follows their daily routines and conversations, using their accounts to examine what border security looks like from the perspective of people who share their land with smuggling routes. The 2010 killing of Border Patrol Agent Robert Rosas is treated as a turning point in their thinking, evidence that the border is not merely a symbolic line but a place where violence has real consequences. Interviews and on-location footage of the fence itself anchor the film's argument that drug trafficking, not immigration in the abstract, is the threat these residents organize their lives around. The film stays close to its two subjects rather than widening into a national policy debate, letting their fears and justifications carry the story of what living next to an active smuggling corridor actually feels like.
