When he inherits his father’s South Brooklyn home, the family move in to save money on rent. They have a tenant, a shopkeeper on the ground floor, who is a Chilean single mother of another 12-year-old boy. When the Jardines are forced to raise the rent on the shop, the relationship between the adults grows strained as the boys’ bond deepens.
