Vicky, an aspiring dancer from Madrid, is working as an au pair for a New York City family when rumors spread of a violent unhoused man in Prospect Park. As the threats escalate, she sets out to find the family's missing dog. Based on true events in the park, Michael Patten's microbudget debut is built from long, uninterrupted takes and cast largely with real people playing themselves — an exploration of belonging and resilience in a foreign land.
