Based on the novel by Janet Fitch, this captivating story follows Astrid, a young woman whose life takes an unexpected turn when her mother, an enigmatic and manipulative artist, is sentenced to prison for murder. As Astrid is placed in a series of foster homes, she encounters a world filled with complex and challenging characters that force her to mature quickly. From a wealthy family that temporarily takes her in to a foster mother with her own issues, each experience leaves a profound mark on her emotional development.

Astrid navigates the struggle to find her identity and the desire to connect with her mother, who, despite being behind bars, continues to exert a disturbing control over her life. Throughout her journey, she faces betrayals, heartbreaks, and the intricacies of family loyalty, all while seeking a place she can truly call home. Her interactions with her new families and the attempt to break free from her mother's dark legacy lead her to question her own values and decisions.

Astrid's journey is an exploration of resilience and the longing for belonging, showing how even the most damaging bonds can have a lasting impact. With powerful performances and evocative cinematography, this story weaves together love, loss, and the relentless quest for personal freedom amid the shadows of maternal influence.
