Daniel Giabratta is a down-on-his-luck film school graduate stuck shooting lowly wedding videos and bar mitzvahs while waiting for his big break. As bankruptcy, a broken heart, and spiraling ambitions threaten to destroy his world, he travels to visit a reclusive billionaire in the hopes of salvaging his career, but instead salvages himself.

Isabel Moreno crosses the border into the United States, thinking only of making enough money to save her deathly ill mother. In Philadelphia, she finds comfort in her cousin Martin and is embraced by his neighbors, Gloria and Maurice. She is surprised to find a new family far from home, but even more surprised to fall in love with the one man that could put her right back where she started, Christopher Fox, an immigration agent. Faced with an ultimatum, Isabel is forced to question her loyalties and choose between her freedom and the love of her life.
