It's America at its most vibrant and chaotic; it's also where one foster care caseworker-a would-be white savior from New England, a twentysomething kid prematurely jaded by the system-takes it upon himself to reunify a troubled birthmother with her children, against the recommendation of his world-weary but wise Hispanic boss.

And nevermind the fact that her ex-husband, a serial abuser whose casefile's thick with bruises, just might have killed someone to protect her in the past-and might be willing to do so again.)
