Sophie has loved Jesse for six years, but their wedding turns on his mother Lorraine, who arrives in white chiffon and pearls with a smile that dares anyone to object.
Sophie looks to Jesse to speak up, and he tells her to let it go.
Uninvited visits, rearranged cupboards, and private conversations follow, and somehow Sophie is always the one left apologizing.
Each time Jesse promises that things will change, she believes him, until Lorraine walks through a door that should have been locked against her.
Sophie leaves. Jesse wants his wife home, yet bringing her back means confronting the mother he has spent his life trying not to disappoint.
