Human Collateral

Description

MILLICENT “Mill” BROWN is not the perfect mother, as she rents out her Chicago apartment as a trap house to drug dealers. A deal goes wrong, and a friend turns out to be an undercover cop. Mill is arrested and watches the director of DCFS, Mrs. Ross, take her children away. While Mill gets time in prison, Ms. Ross starts orchestrating the placement of Mill’s two children. However, Mrs. Ross is not looking for the best temporary homes; she is looking for the highest trafficking bidders. While waiting for processing, hearings, and later a trial, Mill must navigate this unfamiliar world of dirty C/Os and intimidating convicts. Mill finds herself slipping further into the prison system and decides she must play and manipulate this world of high-crime politicians and dirty cops as she fights to get out to find her children.
