There’s a natural border in areas of southern Texas, having nothing to do with any walls. It’s the river known as the Rio Grande, and long stretches of it separate Mexico and the United States. But there are also some border fences north of the river, and myriad geopolitical regulations have resulted in a gap between the two countries. The area, physically in the U.S., is unofficially known as No Man’s Land.
It’s the location of the Greer cattle ranch, where Bill and Monica Greer (Frank Grillo and Andie MacDowell) have raised their sons, Lucas, and his younger brother Jackson (Alex MacNicoll and Jake Allyn). They’re a tight-knit, resilient family who love the land and have long-endured the hard work it takes to keep everything going.

The main action of No Man s Land - the flight of a young Texan on the lam from the law in Mexico - is precipitated by something of a head-scratcher. When Jackson (Jake Allyn), the son of a cattle rancher whose land lies north of the Rio Grande but south of the border wall, is involved in a chaotic, nighttime confrontation with a Mexican family that ends in bloodshed and one death, he lights out the next day on his horse across the river.
