The Padre (2018) (original) (raw)
The Padre, a small-time con man on the run from his dogged pursuers, U.S. Court Justice Nemes and local police officer Gaspar. When the Padre is caught mid-con, he flees the scene in a stolen car, unaware that a precocious 16-year-old girl, Lena, is stowing away in the back seat. After she blackmails him into letting her join his journey, the duo plan their biggest heist yet - not always aware of the dangers of working with each other and the law closing in on them.
