Frank Diaz, played by John Leguizamo is a down-on-his-luck Gulf War veteran. Frank, Angela and their two children are evicted from their New York City apartment and move into a homeless shelter. Good news comes on Christmas Eve: an apartment is available immediately but Frank needs a job to qualify. Frank and his ten-year old stepson, Justin, roam the cold streets of New York trying to find a job by day’s end.
