Synopsis

Completely nominated by her father, Murray (Jon Gries), June ((Samaire Armstrong) still lives at home along with her mentally challenged Uncle Henry (Brad William Henke). June, now a young woman, lost her mother who died when she was a young girl, but her father has never come to terms with his wife’s death. The house is stuck in a time warp, as Murray won't allow anything to be moved or changed. Consequently life has ceased to exist and June has been suffering this burden unfairly.

Change though does arrive in the form of a young, poor Mexican immigrant Juan Diego (Oscar H Guerrero), who June falls for and finds the strength to break free of her father's iron grip on her life. Juan shows June a whole new vibrant life that until now she had only ever dreamt of.
