Plot

After her boyfriend is arrested, Joleen, a young mother, is left with no choice but to seek shelter with her 11-year-old daughter, Tara, at the home of her younger brother, James. Struggling with his own life and responsibilities, James is ill-prepared for the task of caring for Joleen and her daughter. His world is further complicated when Joleen decides to flee, leaving Tara in his incapable hands. With very little money and no clear plan, James finds himself burdened with the responsibility of looking after his niece, pushing him to the limits of his patience and emotional capability.

Faced with the daunting task of caregiving, James tries to maintain a semblance of normal life for Tara, but the challenges of their situation soon lead to a series of poor decisions. As authorities begin to close in and the reality of their circumstance becomes impossible to ignore, James and Tara embark on a road trip in an attempt to find a better life. Their journey reveals the depth of their familial bonds and the lengths to which they are willing to go in order to protect one another, setting the stage for a profound exploration of duty, love, and redemption.
