A poignant feature film about loss, forgiveness, and hope in America’s heartland, CASH FOR GOLD tells the story of Grace (Deborah Puette), an Army widow hiding a dark secret.
Fighting to support herself and her young son (Sawyer Gacka) while clinging to her recent sobriety -- and with Christmas fast approaching -- she takes a job at the local pawn shop owned by the town’s only Muslim family.
She initially butts heads with the owner's son Hasan (Farshad Farahat), a man with a secret of his own. As their relationship deepens, forces within their tiny community propel them toward one dangerous, explosive night.
Will they each face the mistakes of their past...or be destroyed by them forever?
