The North Pole is a dramatic comedy about four friends in North Oakland who fight, dream, and plot hilarious schemes to stay rooted as their neighborhood becomes a hostile environment. Facing an array of attacks on their diverse community – some sinister, some absurd – the friends must combat crazy landlords, shady ICE agents, and their own complicated roles in a world turned upside down.
