What does a mother do when after ten years of drug and alcohol abuse her son is faced with serious jail time? After all of her family's attempts to save him have failed, is prison the only solution? She takes on the challenge to travel 1,300 miles to be with him when he is taken into custody. To bear witness to his downfall, to be present, to love him. But must she accept the fate that awaits him?
