Being part of the London Lesbian & Gay Film Festival official selection, this is a touching Canadian film about parental love, loss and redemption. A lesbian mother struggles to raise her rebellious daughter and at the same time, run the abortion clinic her late partner had started.

Dr. Finn Jefferies is a modern lesbian-her family is pure 21st century: two mothers, two careers and a kid. Nothing had ever rocked Finn's passionate, committed life until the untimely death of her beloved long-term partner, Nancy. In shock, Finn can barely cope. As she flounders in her grief, she takes risks that jeopardize her relationship with the only person she really loves - their daughter, eleven-year-old Zelly.
Consumed by her work and by a rebound fling with a much younger woman, Finn is oblivious to Zelly's latest attention-seeking antics - shoplifting, smoking dope and skipping school.
As Zelly acts out, Finn also faces losing her medical career. When constant threats from anti-abortionists escalate to a sniper attack on Finn, uncompromising police officer Diana Peris is assigned to protect Finn and the clinic. Intrigued by Finn and protective of Zelly, Diana devotes overtime to her task. For the first time since Nancy's death, Finn feels drawn to someone she might be able to lean on and maybe even love. Yet, Finn's kamikaze lifestyle and careless parenting too often put her and Diana at odds. Luckily for Finn, Zelly - in need of protection - and Diana - ever protective - forge an instant connection.
