When a brutal blast of cold hits Cincinnati, the public library transforms from a safe haven for the homeless into a potential war zone. Those who have no place of retreat to evade the cold stage a sit-in in the library where they are tended by members of the library's staff. Soon the police arrive and a stand-off threatens to bring tragedy to the homeless individuals and those who care about their well-being. An eye-opening exploration of the basic values of humanity plays out as the cold rages outside.
DVD, NTSC region 1, anamorphic widescreen (2.40:1) presentation; Dolby Digital 5.1.

So relatable. submitted by majean on August 2, 2020, 10:38pm If anyone wants to know what it is like to work at a public library, watch this movie.

Plausibility submitted by markwells on July 1, 2022, 9:39am Pretty good movie though I thought it seemed to lose more and more plausibility toward the end.
Grade: B.
