Bound by blood and separated by secrets, the Amado women must come together in the face of daunting circumstances.

In Southern California, divorced matriarch Mercy Amado worries deeply for her three daughters. Celeste, the oldest, doesn't speak to her youngest sister. Fiercely intelligent and proud, she has moved away to San Jose and prides herself on being the fixer of all problems. Sylvia, who married a rich but abusive spouse, has immersed herself in suburbia with her two young daughters. Nataly is trying find fulfillment and security in the free-spirited Latino art world. She works on her textile creations by day and waits tables in an upscale restaurant by night.

Can Mercy bring her daughters back together following a string of earth shattering events? Or will the Amado women close ranks and lose each other in the process?
