A young woman's life is turned upside down when her controlling mother-in-law invades her newlywed bliss, leading to a clash of personalities and a struggle for independence.

Mark, a brilliant and accomplished young man, leaves his small town to attend MIT, leaving his single mother Maylene to focus on her new role as a grandmother to her pregnant daughter Ruth and her lover Ruben. However, Maylene's overbearing behavior towards Ruben creates tension in the household, and the family's happiness is short-lived as they face a tragic event.
