Two Hispanic immigrant children living in New York City are left on their own after their father doesn't return home one night. The older child, Fernanda, is severely agoraphobic and has never left their apartment, so her younger brother, Tomas, decides he will move them both into a nearby abandoned building to protect her from "welfare" while they wait for their father to return.
