Sydney Harris, a young athlete, learns she has only six months to live unless she can afford an expensive treatment. Her low‑wage husband can’t raise the money, and the deadline looms. As she scrambles for a cure, she questions her purpose, finds an unexpected attraction to a single mother in their new neighborhood, and must choose between her devout upbringing, her family, and the hidden love while battling to survive.
