A poor, interracial family lives at the border of the wealthy city they used to be a part of. Barely surviving on their own, in the only house within hundreds of miles, they are confronted by the authorities of the new government and given significantly bad news. With 24 hours in which to make a decision, they are faced once again with the reality of their situation. With nowhere to go, and no one to turn to, a choice must be made. But some choices carry a weight which may be too heavy to bear.
