A reformed criminal's attempt at going straight is derailed when he reunites with his sanity-testing twin brother on a road trip for the score of a lifetime. Dodging bullets, the law, and an overbearing mother along the way, they must heal their severed family bond before they end up killing each other.

El Secreto follows James, a high school student trying to make it through his Spanish class in order to graduate. His teacher, Dr. Espindola makes it impossible for him to catch a break, forcing James to get creative.
