There’s nothing like young love. But from the
beginning, Amy’s wealthy, opinionated parents disapprove of Josh Everett. Josh
is a high school drop-out working for his father’s modest construction company,
when Amy becomes pregnant during her senior year of high school.
Her parents begrudgingly throw a lavish wedding for
her and Josh to avoid the scandal of an unwed and pregnant teenage daughter.
Freed from her parents’ expectations, Amy begins to thrive as a wife and
mother. But Josh and Amy’s simple love story endures an unwanted plot twist
when Josh is struck by mental illness and begins suffering from auditory and
visual hallucinations.
Confused and scared, Amy does her best to hold her
little family together. When his symptoms escalate and Josh lands in a locked
hospital ward, Amy’s parents see an opportunity to sabotage the relationship.
Unless Amy divorces Josh and returns home to them, they will move to take
custody of the couple’s young son.
An embittered legal battle ensues, and Josh and Amy
are thrown from hospital to court room. Time is running out as Josh grapples
with what’s real and the couple searches for an accurate diagnosis. In order to
save their family, they must face the biggest obstacle in their relationship
and fight together against everything – and everyone – determined to tear them
apart.
