This film recounts the journeys of three families who come to live at a low-income apartment complex in Oakland, California, where they raise their children amid drug dealing, gang violence, and prostitution. Yet their worst problem is their landlord, who raised rents even when El Niño rains flooded their units. They join forces to sue their landlord, and the film follows their struggle for justice.
