Two men leave the comforts of home to spend a week of Minnesota winter experiencing homelessness. They sleep either on the streets or in homeless shelters in an effort to create empathy with those who truly have to experience life without stable housing, and create an avenue for them to share their stories. During their week on the streets they encountered below zero temperatures, dangerous places to sleep, and met a lot of wonderful people who showed John and J.D. how to survive and how to maintain hope while living without stable housing.
