But behind the happy front, Freya feels pulled in a hundred directions. Life has thrown Freya some lemons - and she's learned how to juggle! But she's keeping a secret from her family, and soon something is going to crashing down...
All families have their struggles and strengths. So can Freya pull everyone - and herself - together when they need it most?
