In the summer of 1960, the northeast faced the devastating impact of Hurricane Donna, while a Puerto Rican family of three embarked on their first journey away from home to settle in rural Long Island. Evalisse, Fernán, and their son Jaivín secured a rundown residence on the land owned by Charlie, an elderly middle-class Italian. The narrative reveals tensions between immigrant families both old and new.

Written and directed by Jose Rivera, this autobiographical theatrical piece delves into themes of female friendship, the cost of assimilation, and the American lifestyle, weaving together elements of humor, poignant emotions, and a cathartic resolution.
