Micki (Babs Chula) is a high-strung writer of pulp romance novels whose actress daughter Rebecca (Camille Sullivan) finds her mother completely overwhelming. Meanwhile, dedicated housewife Brenda (Gabrielle Rose) is taken aback by her husband's announcement that he is leaving her for a younger woman, and can't understand why unsympathetic daughter Kate (Tiffany Lyndall-Knight) seems more devastated by the news than she. Lastly, self-sufficient Métis businesswoman Celine (Tantoo Cardinal) begins to suspects that her latest client, a young professional named Cynthia (Tinsel Korey), who was adopted into a white household as a young girl, may in fact be her long-lost granddaughter. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
