A boy must come to terms with the harsh reality of his immigrant status when his brother alarmingly doesn’t come home.

Javier aspires to be a viral sensation — a lifestyle he has kept hidden from his Dominican immigrant parents. When Javier’s older brother is late to Javier’s graduation night after a job interview, the family starts to assume their primal fear has finally become a reality. The prospect leads to a direct confrontation between Javier’s emblematic online and at-home personas, forcing the teenager to confront the grim reality of being an undocumented immigrant in America.
