Mila Verster is a successful entrepreneur in her fifties. With her daughter, Tami, about to turn eighteen, she is ready to embark on a new chapter. But then Tami disappears without a trace one afternoon, and Mila is forced to lift the veil on the past. But while time heals some wounds, the scars remain tender and the path to forgiveness comes at a price. The world is sometimes cruel, and even with the best intentions, all mothers make mistakes.
