Synopsis
Ivy has lived in the shadow of those around her, her needs consistently brushed aside for others. When she turns twenty-four, she dares to hope that her birthday might mean something to the people she loves most. Instead, at an amusement park, her boyfriend, her brother and her childhood friend all rush to protect her adopted sister during a water ride, holding their umbrellas over her without a single thought for Ivy. Soaked and deeply hurt, Ivy realizes that her invisibility within her own family and social circle is not accidental but total.
This moment of rejection becomes a turning point, forcing Ivy to reckon with years of neglect hidden behind the everyday dynamics of her relationships. The story looks at what it means to be taken for granted by the people who should cherish you most, and how one seemingly trivial incident can break open the dam that has held back a lifetime of pain.
