The whole concept is "What would life be like in California if all the Hispanics disappeared?" Sounds like the beginning of a great movie, but the way it is carried out it becomes quite hokey... dumb. For some unexplained reason, a fog disappears all hispanics, blocks all the state lines, and stops all intrastate communications, including satellites. (Of course, power, water, gasoline and other essentials which are heavily piped into the state in unaffected.)The storyline also becomes pretty silly. I hope some real director takes this story, feeds it to some better screenwriters and re-makes the movie... so it makes sense.
