THE architecT

Synopsis

A harrowing story of the unlikely collision of two very different families. Leo Waters is an idealistic architect and patriarch of an affluent, suburban Chicago family. Tonya Neeley is a pragmatic activist who is trying to keep her family together while living in one of the most drug and crime-infested public housing projects. As part of her ongoing campaign to have the projects torn down and decent housing built in it’s place, Tonya decides that the one signature she needs more than any other is that of the project’s original architect, Leo Waters.
