A young mother from Guatemala, victim of domestic violence, takes her kids on a perilous journey to the US where Mom applies for asylum.
Mom makes it here only during the coronavirus pandemic to be quarantined in a Minneapolis home where she again becomes physically assaulted at the hands of another man.
One local woman goes to astonishing lengths to help Mom, to save a life.
You're not only about to hear their touching story, but you're also about to hear how escaping domestic violence is like playing an escape room.
You're about to escape the room.
