María, a fifteen-year-old Salvadoran, crosses the border with two of her brothers and an unknown boy, locked in a box on a truck. In Chicago, the family tries to live without being detected by the authorities; hope arises with the help of strangers and with María's stories about a sparrow that brings a rainbow.
