In the spring of 2018, Guatemalan American high school senior Milagros "Millie" Vargas knows her life is about to change. She has lived in Corpus Christi, Texas, ever since her parents sought asylum there when she was a baby. Now a citizen, Millie devotes herself to school and caring for her younger siblings while her mom works as a housekeeper for the wealthy Wheeler family. With college on the horizon, Millie is torn between attending her dream school and staying close to home, where she knows shes needed. She is disturbed by whats happening to asylum-seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border, but she doesnt see herself as an activist or a change-maker. Shes just trying to take care of her own family. Then Mr. Wheeler, a U.S. Senate candidate, mentions Millies achievements in a campaign speech about "deserving" immigrants. It doesnt take long for people to identify Millies family and place them at the center of a statewide immigration debate. Faced with journalists, trolls, anonymous threats, and the Wheelers good intentions—especially those of Mr. Wheelers son, Charlie—Millie must confront the complexity of her past, the uncertainty of her future, and her place in the country that she believed was home.
