Lucia Beltran, a Mexican immigrant with no political experience, dares to run for City Council in her adopted city. She’s driven by a conviction that the poor deserve better—but her campaign puts everything at risk: her government-funded job, her safety from an obsessive ex, and her place in a country that doesn’t make space for outsiders. With forces pressing in, two voices battle for her soul—Star Spangle, the relentless champion of assimilation, and Santa Lucia, the patron saint of integrity and self-definition. Caught between survival and belief, Lucia must navigate treacherous terrain where identity, justice, and resilience collide. Will she find the strength to stand her ground, or will the system silence her before she’s even heard?
