Shirley Adams

Shirley Adams (Denise Newman) spends her days caring for her disabled son, Donovan (Keenan Arrison) - he was shot in the back of the neck on his way home from school one afternoon over a year ago. Since then the Adams family has lost all their worldly possessions to medical bills. Shirley has no money, no job and no husband - he left without a trace months ago. Shirley’s life now consists of trying to make ends meet by shoplifting and relying on the charity of others. When a young, eager occupational therapist (Emily Child), comes into their lives, Shirley hopes that it might lift her son’s spirits and finally put them on the path to some form of stability.
