In a rollercoaster display of family dynamics, siblings Maria and Eddie confront a college-bound teen who unknowingly triggered a chain reaction of events in this heartwarming tale of family, love, and overreactions. After a morning of failed communication with their mother, Maria and Eddie rush to her house, fearing the worst. Thankfully they discover their mother alive, but upset and overly dramatic as she puts on a show about feeling obsolete. Confused by her statement, the siblings realize that something, or someone, must have triggered their mother’s feelings. This leads them to Maria’s house where they confront the clueless culprit behind the day’s events, Maria’s college-bound son Jonathan, in a story that gently reminds us that sometimes even the smallest of gestures carry the weightiest of love.
