The Guerreros have lived in Nothar Park, a predominantly Dominican part of New York City, for twenty years. When demolition begins on a neighbouring tenement, Eusebia takes matters into her own hands by devising an increasingly dangerous series of schemes to stop construction of the luxury condos. Meanwhile Eusebia's daughter, Luz, a rising associate at a top Manhattan law firm, becomes distracted by a sweltering romance with the handsome white developer of the company her mother so vehemently opposes. As mother and daughter collide, ramped up tensions race towards a near fatal climax.
