Millicent Brown is not the perfect mother, as she rents out her Chicago apartment to drug dealers as a trap house. However, when a deal goes wrong with one of her dealers, Mill is arrested as she watches the Director of the Department of Children and Family Services, Mrs. Ross, take her children away.
While it is Ms. Ross's responsibility to make sure these children are taken care of, Mrs. Ross instead starts orchestrating the sale of Mill's two children.
Will Mill be vindicated, or will she be lost in the system forever?
