Reflecting the lives of many single mothers, with the hand they've been dealt not the one they'd dreamt of, but with no choice but to play it regardless. A mother, who had her child young, perhaps younger than she had wished in her dreams, tries to avoid the same pitfalls for her daughter against overwhelming odds, compounded by poverty, lack of opportunity and poor paternal support (amongst other things) - persevering nonetheless. Genuine and sincere performances support the central character played by Nicole Beharie who is outstanding. A far from uncommon story the world over.
