Wanda Willingway, a mother, student and office assistant, discovers in her daily duties that she has a mental health illness called P.M.S., Premenstrual Syndrome, once termed PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder). Wanda struggles with the symptoms of this chemical/hormonal imbalance and the stress of parenting. She fights to fight off the extreme mood swings that makes her feel and look like a mad-mom which creeps up on her and her son erratically, causing her traumatic coming-of-age childhood past to pop up and petrify her as a parent.
Wanda knows that time is not on her side and she wanders and sets out on a holistic—natural and spiritual—path for solutions to balance her spirit, body, and mind. She seeks help from a doctor and her mother only to be disappointed, especially by Trish Beats, her witty and beautiful, yet sadistic, cool-acting mom. Wanda’s anger turns to rage and she fears for herself and her son and pushes herself to transform her life running the race of faith. Shaky, stumbling, and scared, Wanda courageously searches for the best way to cope with her erratic emotions and physical pains. She falls deep within her cluttered mind, into a mysterious metaphysical daze, which will either move her to completely lose her mind or give her the strength to deal with her biggest fear and face the toughest fight of her life.
Will she be lost in the dogwood daze or will she find her way to the light to do what's right? Will her fight come with a dogwood price?
