Once a member of the Shah of Iran�s elite inner circle, he has brought his family to America to build a new life. Despite a pretense of continued affluence, he is barely making ends meet until he sees his opportunity in the auction of a house being sold for back taxes. It is a terrible mistake. Through a bureaucratic snafu, the house had been improperly seized from its rightful owner, Kathy Lazaro (Connelly). The loss of her home tears away Kathy�s last hope of a stable life�a life that had been nearly destroyed by addiction�and Kathy decides to fight to recover her home�at any cost.
