Rebuilding their shattered lives from scratch, they search for a new home and embark on a last ditch effort to find their elusive patriarch or lose him to obscurity forever.

“The film explores the idea of home: its many iterations, how we define it and more importantly, how it defines us.”

— Cindy Martin, Director
