Sheila White dreams of becoming a photojournalist and escaping her life of homelessness. As a reporter at Street Sense newspaper, she covers the story of DC’s “Tent City.” Along the way, she meets a charismatic tent resident named Mike who, much like Sheila, longs for a life outside the underpass. As the city moves to shut down Mike’s encampment, their journeys are threatened by the COVID-19 pandemic.
