Животът на Лизи е същинска буря, която освен всичко друго побира интимността на дългогодишния брак, безкрайните тревоги на майчинството, сестринската отдаденост към наркозависимия ѝ брат и грижата за новородената му дъщеря.

Макар да изпитва наслада от пищния си и уреден живот, тя копнее за нещо различно - за Витория да не пише, би означавало да пропилее живота си.
