Diane is a middle-aged widow who spends her days helping those in need: she provides food for the homeless, stands by her friends, patiently tries to support her addict son despite the obstacles he constantly sets. However, behind her wholehearted altruism, there is a desire to cope with a part of the past that hasn’t stopped haunting her.
