Marika Bonetti is preparing dinner when she gets a phone call from the police informing her that the EMS has taken her daughter, Jessica, to the emergency room of the local hospital. Dropping everything, Marika drives to the hospital, where she learns that Jessica is in a coma from a drug overdose. Though her daughter has often gotten into trouble, Marika didn't know she was taking hard drugs, and she wonders where Jessica got the drug that has put her life in jeopardy. Marika's husband, Frank, arrives as they're taking Jessica to the ICU, and they speculate that their daughter may have gotten the drug from a person she met on social media, where she's always searching for someone who will love her and make her happy. At the age of thirty-two, Jessica doesn't have a job that pays enough for her to live independently, she doesn't have a real social life, and she doesn't have whatever it takes to avoid repeatedly getting into trouble. Over the next few days as Marika visits her daughter in the hospital and prays for her recovery, she wonders what she did wrong as a mother that made Jessica turn out this way, and looking for an answer, she examines her life as far back as she can remember. After all that has happened she still loves her daughter unconditionally, and she has a residue of hope for her, but her faith is challenged.
