At only seven years old, Ava watches her mother drive away and never come back. Left on a family member's doorstep along with her two-year-old brother, Blake, Ava holds onto the faint hope that her mother will return someday.
Yet, her hopes are shattered when social services get involved, putting the children in foster care. Navigating a revolving set of foster homes, Ava's dream of seeing her mother again grow slimmer every day. Her only solace is a journal in which she writes letters to her lost mother, but she still struggles with the possibility of following in her mother's hazardous footsteps.
With the help of a kind elderly lady and the eventual birth of her own child, Ava slowly comes to terms with her tumultuous childhood. However, a long-awaited reunion years later uncovers old scars and a tragic secret that could unravel everything.
