When three women — each burdened with a private grief — fight over an unplanned child, they are forced to confront the hopes, heartbreaks, and impossible choices of motherhood.

At seventeen, Kendra Dawson’s life is derailed by an unplanned pregnancy that her mother refuses to let her terminate. She attempts to raise Oron on her own, but five years on she is struggling to care for him.

Lynn Short, still grieving the loss of her only child, steps in to help. But she soon sees a second chance of motherhood in Oron.

When Kendra reconnects with Oron’s previously incarcerated father, she is caught off guard when he bonds with the son he has never known. He resolves to assert his parental rights – supported by his sister, Maddy, who harbors her own maternal dreams.

As Kendra, Lynn, and Maddy jostle for first place in Oron’s life, long‑buried secrets rise to the surface. Each woman must face up to the wounds she carries, as well as the truths of what it means to be a mother.
