Zitlally's family is undocumented, and her father has just been arrested for speeding and deported back to Mexico. As her family waits for him to return-they�ve paid a coyote to guide him back across the border-they receive news that he and the coyote�s other charges have been kidnapped and are being held for ransom. Meanwhile, Zitlally and a new friend find a dog in the forest near their trailer park. They name it Star for the star-shaped patch over its eye. As time goes on, Zitlally starts to realize that Star is her father�s "spirit animal," and that as long as Star is safe, her father will be also. But what will happen to Zitlally�s dad when Star disappears?
