Captivating, witty, yet compassionate, Mary Jane is the story of a mother in an impossible family situation. Mary Jane is a single mother with a young son suffering from cerebral palsy. Together they live in a tiny, cramped apartment in Queens, New York. The boy is never seen, but from time to time we get a glimpse into his small, dark bedroom. Faced with seemingly insurmountable odds, Mary Jane retains an unfathomable optimism and sense of humor. She builds a community of women around her who become her makeshift family and provide the wisdom and stability she needs to get by day-by-day. However, when her son’s condition takes a turn for the worse, can friendships old and new support her when she needs it most?
