Carol’s typical Saturday with her husband Rob and their son Jamie takes an unexpected turn when they visit a fabric store for Jamie’s Halloween costume. While there, Jamie asks a stranger, “Are you my mommy?” Afterward, Carol learns that the woman is connected to Rob in a way she never imagined.
The day begins normally—errands, grocery shopping, and promises of ice cream. But at the fabric store, Jamie’s strange question to a woman triggers a chain of events that leaves Carol questioning everything. Rob avoids her gaze, and Jamie later reveals that he overheard Rob talking about the woman on the phone.
Carol confronts the woman, Kaylee, who admits that she doesn’t know how Jamie found out the truth. The next day, Carol returns to ask Kaylee directly, learning that Jamie was originally adopted from Kaylee after being born prematurely. Rob had chosen Carol’s life over the baby’s during childbirth, but the baby didn’t survive. Afterward, Rob learned of Kaylee’s situation, adopted Jamie, and kept the truth hidden for six years.
Carol is devastated. Her love for Jamie remains unchanged, but the realization that she had been living a lie forces her to confront her grief and her husband’s deception. As she begins processing the truth, she seeks therapy, determined to understand what led Rob to keep such a huge secret, while still cherishing the son she loves.
