action

Lawyer Paul Stanton and his wife Diane have a daughter (Chloe) who is in dire need of a donor lung . Chloe is already on the waiting list for a suitable donor lung. Your condition is getting worse and worse, so that time is very short. Paul learns by accident that his colleague James Harrison was on the list for a donor heart seven years ago. He was removed from the list. But this only happens when one receives a heart or dies. Harrison never officially received a heart. Paul does some research and ends up talking to Harrison directly. At first Harrison denies everything. Paul asks further and is given the name Dr. Novarro. Harrison allegedly has no further information or contact names.

Paul flies to El Paso to go to Mexico and Dr. To look for Novarro. In Juarez he has to deal with crime and the gangs that are commonplace there. In a roundabout way, he learns that there is a Dr. Novarro does not exist at all. After an odyssey through the city, Paul stumbles upon an unofficial organization of Mexican doctors who operate according to the motto of “presumed consent”: those who have not expressly objected to organ removal before their death are automatically considered donors; their organs are removed and used to save lives. With Chloe's lungs threatened to collapse in the next few days, the Stantons accept an offer to transplant the next available lung into her for $ 50,000. Diane goes to Juarez with Chloe. But when Paul happens to witness a hit-and-run accident in which an orphaned street boy is run over and he immediately receives a call that “a donor has been found”, he is confronted with a cruel truth: the organs for the transplants come from not always from donors, but in some cases also from involuntary victims. While chasing the ambulance, he is on the phone with his wife. Ultimately, Paul has to decide whether he will save his daughter's life or whether the street boy can go on living, even against Diane's will. The end of the film shows her daughter Chloe's funeral and the designated donor playing with his friends.
