I am Cora, a mother torn between resentment and duty. My son and his wife squander what little they have, yet I cannot bear to see my grandchildren go without. This is the story of how love, pride, and old wounds can twist even the purest intentions.
My daughter-in-law, Emily, phones me in tears, desperate for help as my son, Jake, refuses to lift a finger at home. Her pain drags me back to my own regrets—how I once enabled Jake’s father, and how history now repeats itself. As secrets surface and blame is passed around, our family must face the uncomfortable truth about the patterns we perpetuate.
