ABOUT SINS OF THE MOTHER
Graduate student Shay Dixon (Beharie) reaches a crossroad in her life when she
finds herself broke, burned out and unable to cope with the stress of school.
With nowhere else to go, she embarks on a journey home to Tacoma, Washington,
to face her abusive, alcoholic, estranged mother, Nona (Scott). When she returns
home, Shay finds Nona living life as a recovered alcoholic, with a new daughter
and completely transformed. Thrown by her mother's new path, Shay must now accept
Nona's changes and influences, including her sponsor Lois (Rogers) -- all forcing
Shay to move past her pent-up anger and awaken her own relationships.
