“Better to drown in the ocean than in the sewer.”
Abraham, a Puerto Rican single parent with two boys, is becoming very worried about them living in their rundown neighborhood when one day he notices that escaping Cubans are lionized and given exceptional benefits. He schemes to have his sons washed ashore as Cuban immigrants to be adopted by rich Anglos.
