Synopsis
When two ICE officers maneuver into the Diaz family home over the Thanksgiving holiday, a domino effect ensues as the family topples. Mother Marisol is arrested and detained, eldest son Koke is deported to Mexico and father Jorge flees to a synagogue seeking protective sanctuary. The two American born children left intact; attorney Emiliano and his differently-abled teen sister Valentina, scramble to do whatever they can to reunite their family while the undocumented family members do whatever they can to survive. While each disparate family member faces the struggle of a lifetime, they each also discover that their cultural and family ties go far deeper and are much stronger than they think.
