Description

Kathy is a young recovering alcoholic recently separated from her husband. When her family home is repossessed, she is devastated. Her house is sold at auction to Behrani, a former Iranian Air Force officer for whom it represents an entry into real estate and a passport to the future for his family and his own version of the American Dream. For Kathy, its loss is the last of a series of insults life has dealt her, and the stage is set for a gut-wrenching tragedy.
