Zuccotti Park

In the fall of 2011, protestors gathered among the stone benches and neatly lined trees of an open plaza set between high-rise office towers in lower Manhattan. The Occupy Wall Street movement would make international headlines and the world soon learned that plaza's name-Zuccotti Park.

 Frank Scala served as a police officer for twenty-three years, but decides to retire after the death of his wife. As the protests heat up, Frank sees a world changing before his eyes and struggles to hold on to the things he holds dear.

 Though Jen Scala is mourning the loss of her mother, she has found solace in a budding relationship with her classmate, Jamal. Jen's world is expanding and she sees her father Frank as nothing but a painful reminder of the past. She wants to move forward and the Occupy Wall Street movement provides a perfect place to start.

  Frank and Jamal each discover that searching for Jen leads them to uncomfortable truths about themselves. As a large group of protestors gathers to march across the Brooklyn Bridge, city officials scramble to keep order. A showdown is inevitable, with Jen caught in the middle. What proves to be a pivotal moment in the Occupy Wall Street movement has the potential to be a turning point in their lives. Zuccotti Park is a moving story of ordinary New Yorkers caught up in social upheaval, personal grief, and the search for renewal.
