Between comedy, surrealism and a harsh reality, two workers distribute flyers in San Pablo to promote a stock liquidation at the toy store where they work. Will and Ella limit themselves to philosophizing about their own human contradictions and their living conditions, even though they are part of and contribute to this same system that oppresses them.

Maya is a quick-witted young woman who comes over the Mexican border without papers and makes her way to the LA home of her older sister Rosa. Rosa gets Maya a job as a janitor: a non-union janitorial service has the contract, the foul-mouthed supervisor can fire workers on a whim, and the service-workers' union has assigned organizer Sam Shapiro to bring its "justice for janitors" campaign to the building. Sam finds Maya a willing listener, she's also attracted to him. Rosa resists, she has an ailing husband to consider. The workers try for public support; management intimidates workers to divide and conquer. Rosa and Maya as well as workers and management may be set to collide.
