Synopsis by Jason Buchanan

A devoted wife and mother starts to question her chosen path in life after being diagnosed with a terminal illness and falling in love with her new neighbor, a single mother in this domestic drama inspired by actual events. For years, Sydney (Kathleen Benner) has played the part of loving family woman to perfection. But when Sydney finds out that she's got only six months to live unless she and her husband can raise the money needed to afford her expensive medical treatment, her world begins to fall apart. As her underpaid, working class husband struggles to raise the funds needed to save her life, Sydney begins some serious soul searching that leads her into the arms of Jane (Rachel Owens), their new next door neighbor. Her time fast running out, Sydney does her best to reconcile her religious upbringing with her growing feelings for Jane as her husband struggles to accept the fact that his wife is fighting a losing battle.
