The action takes place in the 1980s, in America, in the city of San Francisco. A married couple, Chris and Linda Gardner, live with their little son in a small apartment. Linda works as a laundress in a hotel, and Chris makes a living selling expensive medical devices which, though good, are not affordable for every doctor. The bills pile up, and things go from bad to worse for the couple.
Unable to bear the hardships, Linda leaves her husband and son and goes to New York in search of a better life. Unable to pay the rent, Chris is left on the street with his child and almost no income.
