Ana Alvarez is a single mother from Nicaragua who lives with her teenage daughter, Izzy, in Northern Indiana. When a routine check-in leads to an order to deport Ana, her life as she knows it comes to an end. Izzy just got into Indiana University, so this couldn't have happened at a worse time. Faced with the impossible reality of spending a lifetime away from her daughter, Ana decides to risk everything in a last-ditch effort to pay for Izzy's college tuition before her time runs out.
