Jasmina, a recently-arrived immigrant from Bosnia Herzegovina, works at several low-paying jobs. At an event she caters she meets Hunter, an equally lonely, but aimless young man from a wealthy and privileged Boston family - an encounter that changes both lives in unexpected ways. Strongly drawn to him, she attempts to navigate their vast economic, social and cultural differences all the while she' s struggling to make a dignified life for herself in an alien, capitalist society. At night she cleans offices and starts stealing phone calls to her family in Bosnia. Karen the lawyer who works there confronts her, and later tries to get Jasmina to change her ways. Jasmina lands a gig as a fashion model. She sends money home but those jobs are degrading and hard to come by. The stock market crashes and Hunter has to help his family save their money. He withdraws back to life of empty thrills. She decides to leave for NY. Hunter finally connects with his dad and makes a life changing decision. Similarly Jasmina, having a change of heart, makes a decision to pursue what matters in her life.
