About this movie

Jack Maldonado (E.J. Bonilla) is a hot-blooded, ambitious young man who, fueled by misguided nostalgia, buys a small apartment building in the Bronx and moves his boisterous family into the apartments to live rent-free. His parents, Carlos (John Herra) and Martha (Saundra Santiago), sister Nadia (Rosal Colon), brother Richie (Leo Minaya) and his wife Rosa (Flor De Liz Perez), Grandmother (Judith Delgado) aka Abuela and cousins Hector (Javier Munoz) and Manny (Desmin Borges), all converge under one roof. Tension quickly builds as Jack imposes his views on everyone around him, including his fiancée, Lily (Melissa Fumero). All the while, he hides the fact that his corner store is a front for selling marijuana, but soon has to deal with new unwanted competition. It's only a matter of time before Jack's family and 'business' lives collide in tragic fashion.
