Mom stops by at home and shoves a granola bar down her throat as she leaves to her second job: the night shift at the clothing factory downtown. Max, her eldest son, feeds an off-brand baby food to his younger brother Tyler. As he spoons food into Tyler’s mouth, he attempts to catch up on three chapters of History reading.
At the same time, Max’s friend Liz is living in a similar situation. Liz’s mom’s flight from Boston is landing in about two hours, and her father has, once again, been paged to the ER. Liz is at home, with her two year old brother and their Nanny. After having grown up with a busy mother and a father finishing his residency, she feels obliged to pay attention to her younger brother. She wants to give him the love and attention she never received.
