Struggling but unapologetically living on her own terms, Inez is moving from shelter to shelter in mid-1990s New York City. With her 6-year-old son Terry in foster care and unable to leave him again, she kidnaps him so they can build their life together. As the years go by, their family grows and Terry becomes a smart yet quiet teenager, but the secret that has defined their lives threatens to destroy the home they have so improbably built.

Teyanna Taylor did that!!!! I need to see more from her. Beautiful film and definitely a OD to all strong beautiful black mothers.

Mackenzie Collins

Amazing performance, emotional drama, perfectly paced, a must see

A child to spike lee films, an ode to New York & strong black single mothers. It triumphs in filming & character relationships

10/10 This movie destroyed me emotionally. It feels more like watching real people experience real events than watching actors. Amazing

An emotional and complex tale about flawed people trying to survive, as well as the incredible power of a strong and fearless mother.

A struggle from start to finish, I thought it was a bit predictable until the end. 2 hours to setup one scene of pure emotion.

It was okay

Raw and enjoyable

Really good
