Crocodiles Bite, The

Synopsis:
Four strangers meet in Miami. An American girl from New York meets an Argentine who fled a deep, dark recession; a Cuban balsero picks up a Salvadorian refugee who cannot escape his past  and their lives are changed forever. Their histories interlace until the knot they make threatens to choke them instead of hold them together. In a city where Buenos Aires, Manhattan, El Salvador, and La Habana collide, The Crocodiles Bite opens its mouth to reveal that the heart of a melting pot is a dangerous place.
