A tale of two mothers. Shain loves her mother as if she's a fairy tale princess. Her dream is to grow up looking just like the woman she idolizes, down to the pink lipstick she wears. Soanie, a mother to four girls, is dealing with her own secrets and demons, holding this one child emotionally captive to her silence while treating the other girls normal. No matter the cost, Shain is bound and determined to break through the silence that's holding her mother captive. No matter the hurt, love and respect prompt Shain to resort to collecting four-leaf clovers in hopes of winning her mother's love. Down the road, Shain encounters a chapter of her life where she is forced to relive deep-rooted fears and failures after the birth of her third child. She begins a backward journey going over every little detail of miscues and mishaps surrounding her childhood. It's not something she wants to relive regardless of the fond memories scattered about. The fate of a child that falls short in the eyes of society lies in the hands of its own mother. Reliving her past is as painful as getting a diagnosis that her baby has Down syndrome.
