Smack in the middle of this life and love juggling act, Renny’s mother is diagnosed with lung cancer. Trying to cope with her mother’s mortality, Renny begins to question what she wants out of life. Covering the monthly rent and having Mr. Saturday Night stay the night to read through the morning Sunday Times are no longer enough.No matter what—dolled up, fed up or stood up—Renny never gives up on herself, or her future.
