SYNOPSIS:

A daughter's devastated by her mom's sudden death. They must reunite somehow.

A ruthless family masterminds the shocking death of their own mother and wife! Banished by the family, the daughter Dianne grieves for her mother Shirley who was intentionally left to die alone. Heartbroken, she vows to God that her mother's memory and lifetime of legendary achievements will not be forgotten.

Shirley leaves a miraculous legacy for her daughter to discover. Dianne uncovers the clues and finds out how to honor and reunite with her dead mother again. What becomes the daughter's mission? To escape to safety overseas in order to trek the same treacherous mountains of Shirley and release Mom's ashes. But first, Dianne must flee from relatives greedy for her sole inheritance. And ready to steal or kill her for it when a corrupt probate court's paid off by Dad. Can she outsmart and outlive a family hell-bent on her demise?

Facing family death threats, the daughter escapes to trek remote Mt. Everest.

Avoiding extradition from kinfolk, Dianne embarks on a series of harrowing, thrilling adventures. Her exploits of superhuman survival defy human logic as she's accompanied by signs, miracles, and wonders. Guided and protected by divine forces, her epic journey evolves into a pilgrimage of self-growth and healing. A casualty of childhood abuse from her dad and overshadowed by her mother's talents, Dianne is not equipped to overcome unbearable obstacles. Yet, she learns how to survive and thrive as she finds her own path in Life.

Her trek is cut short! Struck by ovarian cancer, she must abandon the mission.

Dianne's unexpectedly struck down by ovarian cancer. But in the lowest moments, Shirley's spirit reminds her daughter of the impossible challenges they tackled together. Poignant memories remind Dianne that If she gives up now, she'll sacrifice her goal to carry on Mom's race of undying love to the finish line. Because she perseveres and prevails against all these tough hardships, she's finally ready for the promise of romantic love by the cliffhanger ending.
