The Padre tells the story of the Padre (Tim Roth), a small-time con man on the run from his dogged pursuers, U.S. Court Justice Nemes (Nick Nolte) and local police officer Gaspar (Luis Guzmán). When the Padre is caught mid-con, he flees the scene in a stolen car, unaware that a precocious 16-year-old girl, Lena (Valeria Henriquez), 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.
