Deanna Patrias survived her childhood despite the poverty and domestic violence that would forever haunt her. Bipolar disorder, and a lack of paternal love and support, drove her into the arms of the wrong men. She met a small time crack dealer named Lamont Jenson and got pregnant three months later. With Lamont in and out of prison, Deanna was a single mother struggling to make ends meet when a seemingly generous Daryl Black entered her life. Daryl was an amateur boxer and violent sociopath. Deanna barely escaped with her life. At 31, Deanna had turned her life around and had a successful business. One night she convinced her best friend Amy to go with her to La Bella. a Latino nightclub. She met Ronaldo Cortez who was everything she didn't know she needed in her life. A traffic stop on Ronaldo's way to work one day would completely alter Deanna's life forever. She found herself deported by love when she left everything to go to Mexico with Ronaldo who was deported by ICE. Drama, comedy, and loneliness ensue as Deanna adjusts to her new life as the only American woman in a rural Mexican town where international love isn't a common occurrence. She's torn between her country and the man she loves. Will she stay in Mexico with Ronaldo or go back to the States without him?
