SYNOPSIS

Elvis (Kaden Quinn) just turned eight, and for his birthday, his wish has sort of come true. His single mother Lola (Sasha Merci) has invited an immigrant stranger, Mohammed (Faruk Amireh) to live with them in exchange for money. The arrangement takes an unexpected turn when Lola and Mohammed plan an unconventional, seemingly impromptu wedding. Spiraling into a sea of confusion, Elvis navigates his newfound stepfather while half-remembering his biological one (Ajayi Jackson) in flits of collapsing memory and make-believe. When an unscheduled visit from authorities (Diane Sargent) surprises the family, it not only complicates his world, but risks everything he knows.
