A wildfire took their homes. A lie gave them a roof. Strangers Albert and Melissa have nothing in common—except the desperate need to protect their children after a devastating fire. When the emergency shelter runs out of space, they are faced with a choice: stay in a tent or claim the last family apartment. They choose to lie. Two single parents. Two traumatized kids. One cat. And a government form that declares them a "Household." Forced into a tiny apartment with a 90-day deadline, they set ground rules to keep things strictly practical. But as they rebuild their lives from the ashes, the intimacy of shared meals and shared nightmares begins to break down their walls. In a city full of smoke and secrets, can two broken people build a forever home on a foundation of lies?
