A intimate, melancholic portrait of economic precarity and maternal struggle, centered on a mother's search for stability and belonging for her son.

In forgotten towns along the American border, a young mother drifts from one motel to the next with her intoxicating boyfriend and her 8-year-old son. The makeshift family scrapes by, living one hustle at a time, until the discovery of a mobile home community offers an alternative life.
