It’s sometime in the near future, let’s say 2021, in a racially divided East Coast city like Baltimore, Maryland where the never ending news is bad news, global warming has become impossible to ignore, and undocumented immigrants are being rounded up by ethnic group and deported in mass. In a modern, updated "Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner" style, Irwin, a first-generation Jamaican-American art student, brings home his serious girlfriend from a West Coast college, Tiffany, né Jeong Lee, a DACA recipient, to meet his mother, Althea, and grandfather, Hopeton for the first time. Irwin shocks his family and best childhood friend, Jacob, by revealing a life-altering plan amidst the cultural and familial discord that arises from the clash of everyone’s differing ideologies and beliefs. And just when we think the family drama is resolved, the government intrudes on the family with its new deportation plan. Will anyone be left to figure out next steps in a cold new America where even its naturalized citizens’ “desirability” is being interrogated?
