But when her Mum refuses to co-operate Feather realises that the problem run deeper than just her mum's unhealthy appetite.
Over time, Feather's mission to help her Mum becomes an investigation. With the help of friends old and new, and the hindrance of runaway pet goat Houdini, Feather's starting to uncover when her mum's life began to spiral out of control and why.
