改编自Frank Shyong撰写的《洛杉矶时报》报道《一个垂死母亲的计划》(A Dying Mother’s Plan)。来自真实事件，被形容为“让人心碎的故事，聚焦理解心理疾病的多层面的重要性，尤其是亚裔社群中”，讲述在圣盖博谷，一个患上癌症绝症的母亲奋力想要帮助自己情绪不稳定的儿子——她发现儿子对大规模枪击案越发沉迷。

Based on a true story that took place in the San Gabriel Valley, the film follows an immigrant mother with terminal cancer who takes desperate measures to help her unstable teenage son as she uncovers his growing obsession with mass shootings.
