A woman struggles to hold her family together and maintain her dignity in the aftermath of the national financial crisis.

"Vivid and haunting in its realistic depiction of loss and the future, the film is a beautiful portrait of America on the fringe." - Mark Pellington, music video pioneer and Director of Survive, Blindspot, Arlington Road, and The Mothman Prophecies.

"'I'm just two paychecks away from being on the street.' In the aftermath of the nation's financial crisis, Mary, a single mom with two kids, finds herself faced with that exact situation when the factory where she works closes their doors for good. Providing for her children and keeping the family together, while also maintaining some form of dignity in the process, proves to be the hardest job that Mary will ever have." Winner, Best Feature, Glass City Film Festival.
