|---|
Ann (Polley) is a young mother of two working two jobs and living with her young daughters and husband in a cramped trailer behind her mother's (Harry) home. She isn't feeling great and decides she must be pregnant again. The doctor tells her she isn't pregnant, but terminally ill. She's barely lived her life and decides upon a course of action, which includes taking a lover (Ruffalo) and finding a new wife and mother for her husband (Speedman). Luckily, the new neighbor (Watling) is single and named Ann also. She's a good candidate, but will Ann have time to see all the items on her checklist are completed?
