It is about a single Latina mother whose illegal marijuana business is jeopardized when her young son Leo befriends the new neighbors downstairs--a white boy and his police officer grandfather. The film highlights how people of color were excessively targeted for weed during the early 2000s, and is based on the co-director's lived experience growing up with a mom who was a marijuana dealer.

A social justice thriller that highlights the dangers of marijuana incarceration.
