When Emma leaves her picture-perfect life for a women’s shelter, her unlikely friendship with a ragtag group of women pushes them all into a fight to take back their power.“ ”
Synopsis
Emma is whisked away in the dead of night, covered in bruises, and unexpectedly pregnant. Finding a new home in a women’s shelter, she rediscovers lost facets of herself. Among the women and children living in the shelter, individual traumas intertwine. Despite their differences, a delicate sisterhood emerges. Emotionally raw, empathetic, and intensely honest, this deeply moving and ultimately cathartic drama is a display of women’s strength.
