When Jasmine’s best friend, Leslie, is diagnosed with cancer, her world splits open, and there’s no other place to run but straight into the chaos. She doesn’t hesitate—she’s all in, fiercely holding Leslie’s hand through doctor’s appointments, rounds of treatment, and each quiet moment when nothing feels certain. But T, Jasmine’s longtime girlfriend, doesn’t see the fight in quite the same way. Where Jasmine forges headfirst into the storm, T steps back, unsure of how to stay connected when everything feels like it’s falling apart.
The love they’ve fought for is at risk, caught between the heavy demands of illness and the emotional distance that’s beginning to drive a wedge between them. Torn between the needs of her best friend and her desire to keep her bond with T strong, Jasmine must navigate a fragile course to maintain balance at home and deal with a healthcare environment that often feels cold and impersonal. Facing this additional hurdle in Leslie's battle for survival, Jasmine can’t help but wonder if supporting Leslie means losing T.
And then there’s Portia—Leslie’s nine-year-old daughter who’s being forced to grow up in the shadow of her mother’s illness. Jasmine has promised to protect her like her own, but it’s harder than she ever imagined. Along the way, Jasmine and T’s couple time gets overshadowed by a whirlwind of medical appointments, after-school activities, parent-teacher conferences, and family drama that threatens to engulf their relationship.
The strain of this new dynamic pushes Jasmine and T to confront their own insecurities—about their relationship and their individual capabilities. They’re both trying to hold onto something precious, and it feels like they’re each losing their grip. As they face the harsh realities of caregiving and sacrifice, Jasmine and T realize they have a lot to learn about love, loss, and the importance of family. Can they keep it together long enough to discover if their relationship can survive the weight of it all?
