It can be a struggle for anyone aligning bold dreams with family expectations...

Melina is no stranger to that struggle. Being raised in a strong, family-centered Mexican American culture, she has dreams of discovering the world beyond her neighborhood's limited boundaries. Melina loves her family but has decided to break from her family's cultural norms and attend college several hours away in hopes of a different life than she's used to. But trying to balance family with her own ambition is about to break her in two.

Margot is facing different family expectations as an only child of extremely successful parents, but has the same desire to seek out her own path, even if that path is considered unacceptable. She is realizing that trying to be someone she's not, or driving toward a goal that's not her own, is not only unsatisfying, but is compelling her to make decisions that will affect her relationship with her family, and the world she wants to be a part of.

These two very different lives surprisingly collide at first resisting each other, but then discovering together the real meaning of courage.
