Plot summary
A summer blackout in the South Bronx lands Chino Linares, a bicycle messenger, in jail for looting. His wife Lisette is raising three children, and the household depends on Chino, who is having an affair with their neighbor Magdalena. With her husband gone, she works to keep the family together, and her mother-in-law's criticism and the neighborhood eccentrics add to the strain. Her transgender sister Alexis urges her to take a chance on her dream of becoming a print model, and she takes a job as the personal assistant of Stephen Price, a record label producer trying to sign the Latin group the Mendez Brothers.
