When photographer, and mother of two, Kathy Anderson first becomes aware of what seems to be an early symptom of the illness, the locum for her vacationing family physician reassures her that, "It's nothing more than a water cyst. You're much too young for it to be anything more serious." Not wanting to worry those closest to her, she hides the symptoms from both family and friends.
Kathy's husband Michael Anderson is a successful lawyer who's asked to handle an important, and complicated malpractice defense case for the firm. But when Kathy begins treatment for the cancer, he discovers he needs help managing both the household and his difficult client, and he must turn to the person he likes the least -- Kathy's best friend Claire.
A new age free spirit, Claire moves in with them, bringing all of her personal baggage with her and in the process complicating what is already a difficult situation for everyone. Along the way she is forced to come to terms with what her life has become.

Perhaps most importantly, this story highlights the struggles of those that have been waiting too long to tell their story.
