Scratched

Fifteen-year-old Luis Romero has lived his whole life on the back side of horse racing. Seven days a week undocumented people like his mother Blanca live and work to feed groom exercise care for and clean up after the high-strung horses with long pedigrees. It's not just your job - it's your home your life your community. Lose the job and you lose everything. A cheap trainer with a pill habit entices Luis to help her take care of her horses pulling him deeper into a future on the track... but when Blanca takes up with a security guard with another agenda it may all fall apart. Luis has to decide for the sake of his family and his life what race he really wants to run.
