After learning that emergency shelters are at full capacity when a brutal Midwestern cold front makes its way to Cincinnati, Ohio, a large group of homeless library patrons led by Jackson refuse to leave the downtown public library at closing time. What begins as a nonviolent Occupy sit-in and ragtag act of civil disobedience quickly escalates into a standoff with local riot police, led by a no-nonsense crisis negotiator and a savvy district attorney with lofty political ambitions, all as two librarians are caught up in the middle of it.

Composers Tyler Bates and Joanne Higginbottom contribute a uplifting and beautiful score that elevates the strong emotions conveyed by this beautiful and important film.

The film will be released in theaters on April 5, 2019
