Ruby’s parents, Josef (Peter Nikkos) and Zahra (Rita Khori), Greek immigrants, are living their American dream, owning their own restaurant in Los Angeles and about to have their first child. On the 4th of July, a failed robbery takes the life of pregnant Zahra, and before she dies the baby is saved. Ruby (Eliza Gerontakis) is born. 25 years later, Ruby is a rookie cop, and it’s her birthday. Memories of her mother’s death, the grief of her father, and her reasons for becoming a cop cloud her mind. She is called to a noise complaint at an apartment and busts in thinking the worst is about to happen. Caught off guard, and trying to save face, she overreacts, and a chain of events happens that pulls a family apart. Later that night, drawing her gun to stop a robbery, she finds herself in the same situation as when she was born, only now she's in another role; and has the opportunity to make a different choice. She finds herself isolated in a moment in time, when she can make a decision that has the power to not only save a life, but affect the lives of generations to come. This film looks at our nature to inflict our wounds on others, and how we have the power to change, and overcome our past. This is a story about understanding, having compassion for, and claiming family lineage.
