Cost of Living

What is the road that brought us here? Unemployed truck driver Eddie sits at a bar alone, recalling his final moments with wife, Ani, when a car accident turned the focus of their relationship from divorcing to caregiving. Overworked, under-qualified and nearly homeless, Jess takes on another job to make ends meet — this time, as a personal caregiver for a wealthy and beautiful graduate student named John, who has cerebral palsy. The histories, influences and challenges of four lives converge in the meeting of two strangers in a small, empty apartment in Bayonne, NJ.
