CASH FOR GOLD tells the story of a struggling Army widow who finds work with a Muslim family at
Christmas time, facing a secret that could unravel her whole life. Set against the backdrop of
Christmas in America’s heartland, CASH FOR GOLD is a poignant feature film about loss,
forgiveness, and hope as it follows Grace (Deborah Puette), an Army widow hiding a dark secret and
fighting to support herself and her young son (Sawyer Gacka) while clinging to her recent sobriety.
With Christmas fast approaching, she takes a job at the local pawn shop owned by the town’s only
Muslim family. Grace 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?
