Finding Maslow

Justina, an aimless law student, returns to the family home in Long Beach, New York, shortly before Hurricane Sandy is going to hit. Her father, a powerful Latino politician, is nowhere to be found, but he has sent Daniel, a local college drop-out from a poor neighborhood, to secure the family home. Daniel, who has been surviving by working as a delivery boy and doing odd-jobs, is struggling with guilt and grief over the recent death of his mother, and is drifting through life as well.

When the hurricane hits, Justina and Daniel are trapped together to ride out the storm and the devastating aftermath. As they join the community to help rebuild their neighborhoods, they learn that the storm is not the only challenge in their lives as their very different worlds collide.

Finding Maslow is full of diverse characters-a proud and overprotective single father, a smooth operator who tries to "win" Justina's heart, a neighborhood character struggling to survive in her storm-ravaged home, and a plucky ex-girlfriend who is not quite what she seems.

The story will take you on a journey from a poor hospital in disaster mode to glittering Manhattan, from Long Beach, New York to earthquake-ravaged Mexico City, as the characters strive to find hope, meaning, and love in the midst of tragedy.
