An everyday suburban housewife liberates herself from her peanut-butter-and-jelly cage and flees to Mexico. While battling the cultural quirks that send less adventurous souls hightailing it back to the U.S., she struggles to learn Spanish, raise her kids, and run a school. She supplements her meager salary by smuggling, using her wily wit and gift for gab to outfox the customs officials. But not all of her border crossings go as planned.
