Awakened to the issue of homelessness, Maggie becomes determined to try to make a difference. When a congressman reintroduces a bill called "4 Walls and a Roof", which makes it a right of every American to have shelter, Maggie decides to take action and goes on a protest hunger strike. As her health declines, family and friends grow desperate to understand her extreme action and try to stop her. First-time film director phiAMMA also wrote this timely story ,and is spearheading a movement to create a real 4 Walls bill to bring greater attention to the homeless problem in America and to help make shelter a basic right for all.
