Dilo: Teenager. Refugee. Hustler.

Since Dilo fled Sri Lanka for North America, she's picked up a couple things from her new home: an accent and a taste for the hustle. Between selling pirate CDs and shoplifting, she lives hand-to-mouth, constantly struggling for her family's next meal.

Until her aunt brings home her new fling, Mark, a day trader who can double every dollar on the stock market.

The family quickly becomes enmeshed in his scheme, recruiting new investors everywhere they go.

But when the bubble bursts, Mark disappears as fast as the cash. Betrayed and enraged, Dilo and her family must fight to do the only thing they know: survive.
