Spoiler-Free Synopsis
Read MoreCollapse
A desperate man is lured to the wrong side of the law with dangerous consequences in this drama. Luke (Eric Mabius) and Nicole (Marley Shelton) are a young couple who have decided to pull up stakes and relocate to California. While passing through a small town along the Mexican border, they discover all their money has been stolen, leaving them without the means to go on. Nicole takes a job as a waitress, but Luke knows they'll need more money that her tips will raise if they want to get to California, so when a local rounder offers Luke a few hundred bucks to drive a load of illegal aliens into the country, he accepts. While Luke is paid well for his work, he soon finds he's working for dangerous and disloyal men -- and that Captain Elias (R. Lee Ermey), a local law enforcement officer, has begun to suspect what he's doing. On the Borderline also features Elizabeth Pena, Aiden Campbell, and Tony Frank.
