Ana Costa arrives in Chicago with one suitcase, six hundred dollars, and thirty days to find a job.
She is new to the city. Her English is small. Her cousin can help her for only one month. If Ana cannot find work, she may have to return home to Brazil.
Then she sees a sign in the window of a small café
HELP WANTED.
At Kim's Café, Ana gets one chance. The boss is quiet. The work is fast. The city is cold. But Ana is determined to stay. She learns the tables, the customers, the rules, and the rhythm of a new life.
Then she makes one big mistake.
Can Ana fix what went wrong? Can she keep her job? Can this new city become her city?
