It is hard enough to be a teenager without having to worry about being deported to a country with which you no longer feel ties. Two teenage girls are living in New York City trying to get good grades, but they have a secret - any day they and their parents may be deported because they are living in the U. S. illegally. Their parents, like many others, left Bengladesh with no intentions of ever returning.
The Bengali community lends its support whenever it can, but even they can not avoid the law forever.
