When a young single mother is forced to abandon her idea of a "proper life," she struggles to escape the social norms and overcome her own internal battles. In a time and place where women had very little power or say over their own lives, her journey takes her on a path where life as she knows it will never be the same. Nor will the lives of those around her.
