Night Always Comes plot
"$25,000. 1 night. No other options."
Lynette rises before dawn every morning to juggle multiple jobs while simultaneously caring for her mother, Doreen, and older brother, Kenny. There's little to no money for new clothes or treats. Lynette has had to struggle to save up for the dilapidated house her family has rented for decades in a neighborhood where the "G" word—gentrification—has a bitter aftertaste. There was a plan to mortgage the property, but when that falls through, she's forced to embark on a desperate odyssey in a city rife with greed.
