The storyline for this series is interesting and reminded me a little of The Tie that Binds. This film was made for TV; however, the cast is better than your average made for TV movie. The cast includes Faye Dunaway, Michael O’Keefe, and Nicolette Sheridan.

As I was looking for films to watch this morning, this film quickly grabbed my attention. The cast was surprisingly impressive and the opening scene was compelling. Sheridan did a wonderful job of depicting a recovering mother trying to get her life straight. Overall, this film is worth watching but does not bring anything new to the genre.
