Talking about family is something that Joanna Maddox does not enjoy at all. She has done her best not to touch the toxic claws of her family, and this year will be even tougher than before. Joanna's relationship with her family was far from acceptable. They never supported her aspirations, constantly ridiculed her, and almost broke her mentally. Finally, she ran away and settled with her husband on the Isle of Man. After that, it was just them and their two sons, living calmly and without any significant problems. But you can't run away from your past forever. After her mother passes away, Joanna is forced to confront the very thing she has avoided for so long and keep her sons' private lives hidden from their grandfather's retrograde views. Suffocating with guilt, Joanna must be strong for the wellness of the family she built herself. However, when an old letter reveals a secret about her mother, Joanna begins to question whether she has put her heart in the right place or has been living a falsehood her entire life.
