Back Where It All Started
Maria, also known as Gracie Jane, faced a tough life. When she and her partner Brandi, so-called Jenna Gargles, arrived at a modest house, Maria felt overwhelming fear. After a long absence from home, she finds herself summoned back due to the passing of her stepmother.
A family lawyer requires her presence for the reading of the will. This task brings Maria face to face with her estranged stepbrother, Adam, and she is not prepared for the encounter. When Adam opens the door, his hostility towards Maria is unmistakable.

Gradually, as they unpack issues of the past misunderstandings over time grievances felt by one another find resolution. Adam's realization dawns on his perception, revealing his family's true nature and his prejudices. As everything comes to light, the burning question emerges: Can they heal the broken bonds, bury the hatchet or will the scars be left unresolved?.
