A year after the sudden death of her husband, Liam, Maya is paralyzed by grief and suffocated by societal expectations. Refusing the traditional, restrictive path of mourning dictated by her wealthy in-laws, she chooses radical independence. She starts a grueling, messy home business restoring antique furniture to save her ancestral home and create a new life for her eight-year-old daughter, Lila. As Maya scrapes away the grime of old wood, she battles the insidious judgment of her community (Mrs. Park) and the financial war waged by her late husband’s family. The story is a raw, emotional journey of a woman integrating her broken past (The Wife), her fierce present (The Mother), and her terrifying future (The Individual) into a new, resilient whole.
