Lodged between two cyclones, Gustavo breaks his promise to evacuate just as coastguards arrive to his south Florida neighborhood. Ending up on the state deportation registry was just another form of predictable peril for him. Left alone with young Sofia after his fiancée Sara flees, he must protect the only home and family he’s ever known in America.
