'How much did this American Dream cost you?' Ava Diaz was brought to the United States from the Dominican Republic at the cost of being in a world without her mother. In her younger years, Ava thought it was enough to have 20-minute phone calls with her mother until it wasn't enough. The phone calls become fewer each passing year. And high school drama enters her life once she meets the charming, Sebastian Song, with whom she finds support and refuge. Before these moments, she didn't feel jealous of the families her friends had nor the one her half-sister, Eva, was able to experience. As soon as her life is turned further upside down, the jealousy and the longing for her mother intensifies. And this time is not just another passing feeling.
