Survival for Ki Lim and Sang Ly is a daily battle at Stung Mean Chey, the largest municipal waste dump in all of Cambodia. Their life is defined by scavenging recyclables from the mountains of trash. The struggle is compounded by the worry for their chronically ill child, Nisay, and the added expense of ineffective medicines.

Just when things seem their worst, Sang Ly uncovers a surprising secret about the ill-tempered rent collector who demands money from them. This revelation sets in motion a tide that will change the lives of everyone it touches. **The Rent Collector** is a powerful story of hope, a mother's journey to save her son, and another woman's chance at redemption. It is a testament to the belief that even in the most desperate of circumstances—perhaps especially there—everyone deserves a second chance.
