Plot summary
Natasha Kingsley, an undocumented immigrant in New York City, learns that she and her family are to be deported to Jamaica the next day. She pleads their case at the immigration office and is sent to Jeremy Martinez, a lawyer who takes such cases at no charge. Daniel Bae, a Korean teenager, is preparing for a Dartmouth medical interview, urged on by his parents, Dae Hyun and Min Soo; his brother Charles treats him rudely. The two ride the same delayed subway train, and shortly after, Daniel pulls Natasha out of the path of a car. They sit and talk; when she says love is not something she believes in, he bets he can win her heart within the day. A phone call moves his interview, leaving him free.
