In Buffalo, New York, Patti is an accomplished young professional who prefers a good book to a romantic dinner and hot-fudge sundaes topped with gossip to solitary hours in front of the TV. Her passionate pursuit of present goals leaves her no time to languish over past losses. But when the family of a friend is plunged into the grips of tragedy, Patti chooses to walk a new path as the nanny of five children who lost their mother. The Five force Patti to face her own history of disappointment in love and abandonment by family. The pain and struggle eventually bring truth, overcoming the lies told to them all. But just as restoration and hope begin to take root in their lives, another tragedy takes from Patti. Will she once again cling to her career or people to give her life value, or will she build her life on peace and freedom found in truth?
