Synopsis
The story of Zelda, a young unmarried mother who just wants things to be different, to be better for her two-year-old daughter, Little Z. But she can't rely on her poet-hipster boyfriend, Max, and doesn't have enough energy to help Natali, her best friend from years ago, who has moved back into her life looking for support to remain drug-free. It is with the other single moms at their regular afternoon Happy Hour, that Zelda is offered a way out. Then one day when events take an irreversible turn, Zelda must decide whether to move forward or remain trapped by the choices she made a year ago.
