Dolphin Westward is done putting everyone else first - especially her unpredictable mother, Marigold. But how do you break the habit of a lifetime?

When she meets Lee, the kind single dad next door, she glimpses the wholesome family life she’s always wanted. Then Joel crashes into her world - a rugged, magnetic actor who makes her feel truly seen - and suddenly Dolphin finds herself torn between two very different futures.

It's not long before everything begins to unravel, and her picture-perfect life feels further away than ever.

<i>Faced with losing it all, can she learn to stop chasing perfection and start being herself?
