A raw, intimate portrait of a woman struggling to rebuild her life and reclaim motherhood while battling addiction and family skepticism.

After serving time in prison, former drug addict Sherry Swanson returns home to reclaim her young daughter from family members who have been raising the child. Sherry's family, especially her sister-in-law, doubt Sherry's ability to be a good mother, and Sherry finds her resolve to stay clean slowly weakening.
