After graduating from a program for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in Fresno, Calif., Griffin, Thomas, Alana, and Sean are weeks away from transitioning toward independent living. But a scheduling gap between their upcoming internship and their new leases has left them with no other option than to live together for two weeks in a rental home, supervised by Griffin's mother, Karen. Middleground follows the four young adults over this period of time as they start their careers, relying on a patchwork of family and community aid while navigating a fragmented system of state services.

*Middleground is set to begin its festival run in 2025.
