Opportunity Cost is a story centered around Liam, a 20 year old, American soccer player from a low income household. He grew up with a small world view–his Michigan neighborhood consisting of only white, blue collar families. But everything changes when a Mexican family moves in down the street. After a lousy dribbling mistake, Liam ends up lodging his soccer ball under the minivan of the Gonzalez family. It’s here that he first meets Jimena, the daughter of the house, a 19 year old, new-to-english soccer fanatic. The interaction ends awkwardly, but it’s only the beginning. Later that day, they happen to run into each other again at the local grocery store. Jimena’s mother invites him over to dinner. Unable to find a reasonable excuse, Liam’s attraction to Jimena causes him to say yes. That night, Liam undergoes a life changing experience: his walls of preconception begin to crumble as he soaks in the similarities and the beautiful connection of the Gonzalez family. After a night of witnessing the joy he’s always desired, Liam returns home, attempting to hide where he’s been. But it doesn’t matter–his jealous, disgruntled older brother is on to him. Liam, knowing the power his brother has an ICE agent, has to take matters into his own hands.
