Now, on the eve of Christmas Eve, he escaped from a rehabilitation center, vowing that he has changed and that he is now a completely different person. A mother named Holly is very happy to see her son and welcomes him with open arms, although she is afraid of him because of his past - not at all the fact that the boy has changed. The next 24 hours will reveal a lot of what is hidden. A lot of secrets will be revealed, through which Holly's boundless love for her son will pass enormous tests. No matter what happens, the mother will do everything possible to save Ben from all the trouble.
