we are all thieves

The problem isn't that Angela is a thief. It's that everyone else is...

Management at her retail job is fed up with the latest round of thefts. Over seven days, Angela, and every have-not eking out a living there, will have the spotlight on them as corporate bureaucrats decide who, or how many, will be fired.

Struggling to figure out the next move for herself and her daughter, Angela’s journey explores race, class and consumerism in the lives of people who steal because they have nothing left to give. A world where Angela must decide whether to sacrifice her ideals or find another way to balance life on the knife’s edge of poverty in New York City.
