This fact-based TV movie takes place in Richmond, Virginia, the
home of single mother Jody Shaffell (Valerie Bertinelli). Appalled
by the fact that Jody has come out of the closet and is living in
an openly gay relationship with her female lover, Jody's mother
Nancy (Vanessa Redgrave) sues to gain custody of her grandson
Zachary (Adam Rehman). A homophobic judge arranges for Zachary to
be taken out of Jody's home, whereupon Nancy sets about to
thoroughly wipe her grandson's memory clean of his previous
"immoral" lifestyle--even unto demanding that the boy refer to her
as Momma. The film's script is careful to weigh both sides of the
argument equally, demonstrating that for most of her life, Jody was
hardly a paragon of responsible motherhood, having supped full of
booze and promiscuity before realizing she was gay and promptly
cleaning herself up; nor is Nancy depicted as a cold-hearted
villain, merely a concerned grandmother who wants what she thinks
is best for Zachary. Indeed, if there are truly any "heavies" in
the piece, they are the best friend and brother of the beleagured
Jody, who callously testify against her in court.
