Since 1993 over 500 women have been murdered in Ciudad Juarez.

Residents believe the true number of disappeared stands at 5,000.

When a new disappearance is reported, Kelly Courter, a washed-up Texan boxer, and Rafael Sevilla, a Mexican detective, are sucked into an underworld of organised crime, believing they can outwit the corruption all around. The Dead Women of Juarez follows these two men obsessed with seeking the truth about the female victims of the Mexican border wars.
