The story

In 1880 Mexico, María Álvarez is an uneducated, poor farm girl whose caring father is being forced off his land by a cruel U.S. land baron named Tyler Jackson.

As an act of revenge, María and Sara team up to become bank robbers, stealing and giving back to the poor Mexicans who have lost their lands.

At the point of exhaustion María tells Sara she cannot swim before losing her grip on the bar.
