Overview

Struggling but unapologetically living on her own terms, Inez is moving from shelter to shelter in mid-1990s New York City.

As the years go by, their family grows and Terry becomes a smart yet quiet teenager, but the secret that has defined their lives threatens to destroy the home they have so improbably built.
