    A young and successful biochemist, LUCY SMOTHERS, works long and excruciating hours in a laboratory to provide for her child and sickly aunt. She relies on her aunt to care for her toddler, while she works seven days a week in the lab.

    Tension starts to build between the two women, as the young mother learns that her toddler calls her aunt, "mommy." Lucy learns that family comes first and to appreciate the life she is given.
