Synopsis
In the film, Melissa Leo plays Ray Eddy, a mother of two who finds that her alcoholic husband has run away to Atlantic City with the down payment intended for the family's soon-to-be-delivered new trailer home. While fruitlessly hoping for a raise at her job at the local 99 cent store, Leo stumbles into a lucrative smuggling opportunity through a chance meeting with ostracized Mohawk Indian mother Lila. Determined to get the new trailer and to be able to afford Christmas gifts for her children, T.J. (Charlie McDermott) and Ricky (James Reilly), Eddy decides to use one of her few remaining possessions—her beat-up car—to drive across the frozen river separating the United States and Canada.
