Papano kung iniwan ka bigla ng Mama mo sa matalik nyang kaibigan? Tapos sinabi nya sayo na wag na wag kang aalis don dahil dun ka nya babalikan? Sabi naman nung mag-asawang kukupkop sayo, wala ka naman daw kailangang alalahanin dahil pwede ka daw tumira sa kanila ng LIBRE. Huh? LIBRE? Uso pa ba yun sa panahon ngayon? At dahil mataas ang pride ko, hindi ako pumayag. Ang sabi ko sa kanila, pwede ko naman akong magtrabaho sa company nila dahil nakatapos din naman ako ng pag-aaral. Kaso sabi nila, wala daw bakanteng posisyon sa company nila. Pero kung gusto ko daw talaga ng trabaho, pwede daw nila kong gawing assistant ng anak nila. Wala daw kasing tumatagal na PA don kase masyado daw mataray at pasaway. Okay na sana eh, kaya lang, nung makilala ko yung anak nila, biglang bumalik sakin lahat ng nangyari nung isang taon. Bakit kailangang itong babaeng to yung pagsilbihan ko? Bakit yung taong inidolo ko noon pero ipinahiya lang ako sa harap ng maraming tao?! Yung taong naging dahilan kung bakit ako iniwan nung boyfriend ko na mahal na mahal ko! Nah, ayoko! Hindi ako papayag. Hindi papayag ang isang Julie Concepcion na magpaalipin sa maarte, matapobre, mataray, suplada, at walang modong si Danielle San Jose. At ang kapal ng mukha nyang tawagin akong 'SLAVE' ha! Makikita nya, gaganti ako sa lahat ng ginawa nya sakin.

Twenty-two year old Grace McCaffrey is humiliated when she can't find a job after graduating college and has to move back in with her parents. She always assumed she'd do something big with her life-create change or do something that matters-not work at the Banner Market as a cashier. Soon, Grace gets roped into being a chaperone for a high school backpacking trip with her ex-boyfriend, Miles Dalby. However, she quickly learns these students are part of a mentorship program for troubled youth. As she tries to get them to open up, Grace starts to doubt herself. How can she make a difference in the world if she can't even help these students? Or is her mom right and sometimes it's the little things that can make all the difference?
