Dilo: Teenager. Refugee. Hustler.





Since Dilo fled Sri Lanka for North America, she's learned at least one thing from her new home: sometimes you have to cheat to win. Between selling pirate CDs and shoplifting, she and her family live hand-to-mouth, constantly struggling for their next meal.





Until Dilo's aunt introduces day trader Mark into their lives. He says he can double every dollar on the stock market.





The family quickly becomes enmeshed in his scheme, recruiting new investors everywhere they go.





But when the bubble bursts, Mark disappears as fast as the cash. Betrayed and enraged, Dilo must fight harder than ever to do the only thing she knows: survival at all costs.
