Synopsis

The Williams family's attempt to relocate from Oklahoma to Colorado leaves fourteen-year-old TYLER, six-year-old MICHAEL, and three-year-old GABBY homeless.

The first night finds the family in Bum Park, a homeless community, under the control of the self-appointed, so-called Mayor of the Park. When Anna goes into labor, the father must decide whether to leave Tyler, Michael, and Gabby with the authorities at CPS or with the Mayor. His decision to leave the kids in Bum Park with ALEX, a street-savvy seventeen-year-old, results in the fight of a lifetime for Tyler.

He has one purpose, and that's to keep his brother and sister safe and together at any cost while encountering druggies, drunks, CPS, and the insane life on the street. As the kids struggle to live, they learn just how much they love each other and how strong their bond is.
