Why watch this? This
compelling story centers on pain and loss... and its destructive power.
Plot Summary:

recovering addict, Kathy, fighting to reclaim her inherited home
and an Iranian immigrant family who purchased the house at
auction. A bureaucratic error led to the house being seized from
Kathy, who desperately seeks to get it back.
Dad's Preview:
Once again Jennifer Connelly proves her acting skills as she
portrays a serial loser who is evicted from her family home. The
house is purchased at auction by a former Iranian colonel,
living above his means, so as to not shame his family. She wants
her house back, he won't budge. This psychological drama draws
you in and won't let go, thanks to tight direction and several
actors delivering some unforgettable performances.
