On a block underneath the J train, Chuck, a Brooklyn native, and Emma, a Manhattanite, debate their right call to Bed Stuy home. Tina and Sallie, sisters who grew up in the apartment above their family's laundromat, make plans to sabotage their mom's building sale. Emmanuel and Jon, a new couple, debate the ethics of moving into the nail in the gentrification coffin, a luxury condo.

Punctuated by the thunderous passage of the train, these residents of Bed Stuy seek connection, resist displacement and piece together their experiences in a neighborhood on the brink of gentrification and change.
