Phyllis, desiring more than just a room in her mother's house, has no idea how she can win her son's love back, gain back her self-esteem, and somehow find forgiveness in her heart for the two men she holds responsible for ruining her life. It's only a routine doctor's visit turns into a fight for her life that she discovers something buried deeply in her soul and that is the strength and courage to survive in the midst of a storm.
