SYNOPSIS: Two best friends and recent college grads, Monty and Calvin, live together in an apartment after graduating college and face tough economic times in which they can't find decent jobs to pay the bills and make ends meet. Their worst nightmare comes true when they end up getting evicted from their apartment by their landlord. This spells failure for Monty. He is too proud to ask his parents for money, because they think that he is a roaring success, living out on his own in the big city. They are proud of him, but what will they think when discover that he has no place to go? He can't let them know. Calvin, on the other hand, doesn't have to worry about his parents finding out and being  disappointed in him. His parents are dead and he has no real family to speak of or to help them in their current predicament. They live in their car for a few days and eventually realize that this arrangement is not going to work. So, one day when Monty, the more responsible of the two, is at work, the other sells the car to get some cash for food, soda, pot, etc. When Monty returns, he is livid and the two erupt into a fight that questions their friendship and sends them on their separate ways. When both realize that they have no place to live and no one to go to besides each other, they decide to reconcile and join forces once again. They have each other, but they still have no solution to destitution. Then, they stumble upon a gold mine: a homeless shelter. The homeless shelter will provide them with room and board at a price they can handle: FREE. At first, they are uncomfortable with their living situation, but over the course of time, they embrace it. They start to feel something that they have not felt in a long time: HOME. They start to make a difference in the lives of other people at the shelter by providing them with friendship and words of encouragement. They make a difference in the lives of lost souls, find true monetary freedom, and through time the homeless shelter becomes home to them. As the holidays approach, they realize the impact that they are having and the importance of what they are doing. Monty reluctantly goes home for Christmas, the only time of the year that he sees his family, and endures the annual criticism from his family despite how very proud they are of him. He cleaned up for the occasion and had full intentions of maintaining the fabricated life that he speaks about in his letters and phone calls home, but he decides that he is tired of living a lie. He musters up the strength to tell his parents and his family the truth about his "success" in the big city. His parents are shocked and tell him to stay with them. He attempts to explain the positive, rewarding effects of living and helping the less fortunate, but his parents and family are too judgmental and superficial to hear the message of how he feels a great sense of purpose, personal responsibility, and love for what he is doing with his life. His parents forbid him to return to the homeless shelter, but he breaks away and proclaims, "It's my home." He returns to the homeless shelter and his life of meaningful destitution.
