Allison Wheeler is fighting a war inside her body, a war with Multiple Sclerosis that she doesn't want to acknowledge and certainly doesn't want other people to see.As Allison's health deteriorates, she tries desperately to hold on to all that is important to her - her family, her career as a social worker for pregnant teens, and most of all, her independence. As her ex-husband and two daughters rally around her, they're fighting their own demons - Glenn, in a new relationship, is afraid of shifting the comfortable companionship that he and Allison have built since their divorce fifteen years back. Melanie, whose sad past haunts her, is an adult realizing that adult life is not all it's cracked up to be, and Hailey, a junior in high school, is debating how she can go off to college knowing that even though she desperately wants to spread her wings and fly, her mother may be too ill for her to go. Just when they all think they've made peace with their lives, they must readjust to a "new" normal - or risk losing everything they've struggled to hold onto.
