John Leguizamo gives the performance of his career
as Gulf War veteran and washed-up prizefighter
Frank Diaz, who finds himself and his family
evicted from their New York City home. But after
months spent working as a day laborer and living
in a homeless shelter, Frank finally receives good
news on Christmas Eve: There s an apartment
available in a nearby housing project if Frank can
prove he s legally employed. As the rest of the
city prepares for their holiday, Frank and his 10-
year-old stepson (a breakthrough performance by
young David Castro) hit the cold streets in a
desperate search to find a job and some hope by
Christmas morning. Leonor Varela (Cleopatra) and
Jerry Ferrara (Entourage) co-star in this gritty
drama from writer/director Salvatore Stabile about
the bond of family and the harsh reality of
America s working poor.
