lights up on washington heights...
It's July 2009 and the heat is the same in Washington Heights. Everybody is in the same boat - poor, struggling, and stressed. Usnavi de Vega owns the bodega, the main stop for everyone for their morning cup of coffee. He runs it with his cousin, Sonny, and the wisdom of everyone's grandmother, Abuela Claudia, and together they keep everyone full of his delicious cafe. Especially Vanessa, the girl everyone wants and the one Usnavi's in love with. If only he could get some skills and actually ask her out...
it's gotten mad expensive, but we live with just enough...
Enter Nina Rosario, the pride of the barrio. She made it off to college, leaving behind everything she knew: her parents, their cab service, her fire escape and Benny, the only non-Hispanic man living in the barrio. What everyone doesn't know is that she dropped out, unable to keep her grades up with two jobs and unable to afford college without them. How will she tell everyone, everyone who was so proud of her for finally getting out?
yeah, i'm a streetlight, chokin' on the heat...
Now Nina's got to tell her parents that all of their dreams are dashed. Usnavi's got to try and ask out Vanessa and keep trying to get out of debt so he can leave New York behind. Benny's got to try to get over his thing for Nina. Vanessa's got to try to get her money together and get her apartment downtown. Everyone in the barrio's got something to try for, something to dream about... what about you?
