What advice would you give to your younger self? Miranda Williams, overwhelmed mother of four strives to live up to her mother's perfect image. The opportunity to run for Mom of the Year on the 25th anniversary of her mom's win provides her the chance. Winning would also atone for the role she played in her mother's death years ago. But she fears her son Brendon's behavior will prove her failure as a mom, and disqualify any chance she has at the contest. A desperate prayer leads to a park where she meets a stranger on a bench. The bench soon becomes a path to purpose and old dreams Miranda set on the shelf are rekindled through wisdom imparted from this unlikely friend. Over the course of the visits, the woman teaches Miranda six steps to unlocking her personal purpose: the butterfly effect, engaging in life, finding her core, utilizing obstacles, becoming a master of one, and eternal perspective. As Miranda fumbles through implementing these steps, crisis hits Brendon, old family secrets erupt and Miranda blames her distraction on this self-discovery. Will she follow the woman's advice and continue her journey to personal purpose, or hide behind the façade she, like her mother, worked so hard to build?
