A modern-day reimagining of Romeo and Juliet, a family feud ensues between a Dominican family and a newly arrived Haitian family in the Bronx. The Almodovars are the most powerful and wealthiest in the country whereas the Barineaus have moved to the Bronx from Haiti for a better life and to keep their daughter, Didina out of trouble after Didina spent 6 months in a juvenile detention center for vandalizing a local market. Anselmo grew up very privileged and was forbidden from associating himself with poor non-Dominicans. Anselmo wants to explore life differently from the life that his parents gave him. One night, the Almodovars throw a party where Anselmo spots Didina in a corner. Despite being born into different backgrounds, it takes a while for the couple to connect. Once they start dating, they face racism, disapproving family members, and the threat of being disowned until one tragic event changes everything. Will the couple choose each other or their families?
