- Synopsis
- Marla has a troubled past. Her rocky upbringing in a series of foster homes, complicated by the fact that she has fetal alcohol syndrome, has made it hard for her to plan her life and follow through on decisions. At last she is working consistently, and she has a relationship with a guy who seems stable and caring. Then, when Marla discovers she is pregnant, her life becomes a whirlwind of complications and uncertainties. She calls upon her brother Gavin, who is deaf, to provide moral support. Her roommate Dani, a longtime drug addict, is a help and a hindrance. And Liam, who has his own demons, is ambivalent about his impending fatherhood. There are no easy answers, but Marla manages to find the support she needs and the strength to make hard choices.
