April's 20-year-old daughter, Maya, struggles to accept her full-figured frame. Inside a small Hell's Kitchen apartment, the three women share laughter and delicious food when Rose visits from her new home in Georgia. But, each of them is forced to push beyond the surface and speak their truth before the weekend is over.
