Madaí, Chanel, Rosmer, and Victoria are four queer individuals who fled their countries of origin in search of a better future in the United States. However, their dreams collided with harsh immigration policies, and they ended up in a shelter in Guatemala, where they were forced to reinvent themselves and, together, build a new idea of home.
