A young woman who is forced to give up her daughter and is willing to do anything to be with her. Another character is a cab driver who struggles to cope with the loss of his son. There is Thunder (Michael Santoro), a tile maker fighting to keep his business from going under, and Denis (Joey Billow), a mentally handicapped janitor who is faced with losing his job.
