Brooke, attempting to navigate the world without a family, support system, or access to opportunity, finds herself working over 90 hours a week at three jobs to pay rent, bill collectors, student loans, and manage one meal a day – and she still comes up short every single week. That is, until she is presented with an opportunity that she cannot say no to: the Sugar Bowl.
