Description
Olivia Dawson has watched her mother struggle her whole life. It's always been just the two of them, trying to make ends meet. When Olivia finally gets her big break - acceptance into Julliard - she chooses not to go because she would rather stay home to take care of her sickly mother and help pay the bills than chase after her dream. When Olivia's mother finds out about her abandoned dream, however, she reveals a shocking secret: Olivia's father is alive and doing very well for himself. Olivia decides to track down the man that might be her father, and confront him.
