Arturo Bandini is een Italiaanse migrantenzoon die alles opgeeft en naar Los Angeles vertrekt om zijn ultieme schrijversdroom te vervullen. Hij wil zich een 'echte Amerikaan' voelen, maar wordt in zijn plan gedwarsboomd als hij Camilla Lopez ontmoet, een Mexicaanse schone die hoopt boven haar stand te rijzen door een rijke Amerikaan te trouwen. Er ontstaat een haat-liefde verhouding die gedoemd is te mislukken.
Nee, helaas is Ask the Dust nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
