As the narrative unfolds, Yeoh’s character faces unexpected challenges when her two teenage children become entangled with a Boston crime gang. In a desperate bid to rescue her kids, she is compelled to confront her own past. The screenplay for ‘The Mother’ is penned by PG Cuschieri, promising an engaging and intense storyline.
