Synopsis by Sandra Brennan

This Canadian drama assumes the style of a documentary as it follows a bitter custody battle between a mother and grandmother over a little girl. Monika, a blues singer and pianist from Toronto, aspires to fame and fortune. She also aspires to reclaim her 12-year old daughter Andrea whom she left with her mother Anna. Anna has legal guardianship and is regarded by Andrea as her birth mother. When the truth comes out, the girl becomes a pawn in the ugly, battle between two self-serving women.
