A living doll in a cage. That's how Maxene Angela Campbell describes her life. Under her mother's wing, she is restricted to explore the world around her. All her life, what her mother says, she is expected to comply. Perfection, reputation, dignity, influence and honor; those were the chains that kept her feet flying away from the responsibilities that her mother tasks her to do. To please her mother, a good daughter will listen and will do nothing but do as her told. Living in a life with her soul dying, death what she thought her escape from all of her pain and uncertainties overflowing in her life. However, is it wrong for her to hope for a miracle after meeting the inconspicuous Travis Joseph Hayes?
