SYNOPSIS

The year is 2052. TikTok sensation Ashley Marie Williams, famed for her beguiling Tradwife content, has just lost her husband in a tragic accident in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest. At 48 years old, Ashley Marie has never had a bank account, a line of credit, or even a part-time job. With her children grown and husband gone, what does a woman whose singular purpose of help-mate to her husband and mother to her children, do? In this electrifying 90 min drama, Trad leaps back and forth through time exploring the nature of grief, purpose, and faith in a future America.
