Helen Hale has been a full-time housewife for fifteen years. However, her husband, James Sullivan, is not only ungrateful but also subjects her to long-term emotional abuse. He frequently tells their son, Dylan Sullivan, that 'your mother isn't good enough for me.' Brainwashed, Dylan also looks down on Helen. Helen has always endured this submissively, until she is diagnosed with cancer and discovers her husband is cheating. She decides she can't take it anymore.
