Harold Espinoza was once a god in white, a surgeon with a scalpel in Mexico's most prestigious hospital. But a car crash killed his wife, shattered his ribs, and ended his career, his country, and his future.
Now, he mops blood from floors instead of stopping it.
Broke, exiled, and raising his 7-year-old son in a crumbling Miami studio, Harold is desperate. No work. No visa for a hospital job. No food in the fridge. Then he finds a newspaper ad that simply reads:
"CLEANERS WANTED. URGENT. HIGH PAY. NO QUESTIONS."
