Overview

In a quiet Texas town, a dangerous chemical plant leak forces a panicked evacuation. But when a school bus breaks down, a group of stranded children must seek refuge in the most unlikely of places - the local prison. Tensions rapidly escalate behind the prison walls as word spreads of a covert plan emerging among certain inmates to take the scared children hostage in order to bargain for escape. With innocent lives hanging by a thread, unlikely alliances form across racial divides. Driven by conscience, the children's lives now depend on the unlikely fellowship of prison officers, inmates, and concerned citizens. Humanity's real nature is put to the ultimate test against el viento del diablo - the devil's wind - as everyone tries to survive in this unexpected and challenging situation.
