Summary:
A $10,000 insurance benefit creates conflicting dreams within a Chicago ghetto family. Son, Walter Lee wants to start his own business while his mom wishes to spend her days in a little house of her own.

A family caught between the reality of their surroundings and a chance at a piece of the American dream.
