In 1999, Novato, California, an 8-year-old girl named Jessie is enjoying what little time she has left with her best friend, Lucas. The two of them have difficulty conveying it, but they’re both aware as to what is about to happen. The trailer park they live in will be closed, and the whole community will be forced to evacuate, as a result of a MTBE water contamination issue. For Jessie, this means facing an unwanted change and learning to say goodbye to that which tethers her to her little pink trailer.
