Can't Get Enough

On Christmas Eve, Hendrix Barry arrives at her childhood home in a small town outside Charlotte, North Carolina, to discover the front door ajar, the house in disarray, and food burning on the stove. She searches for her mother, Betty, who is nowhere to be found. A concerned neighbor, Mrs. Mayer, informs Hendrix that Betty’s best friend, helper, and next-door neighbor, Ms. Catherine, passed away two weeks prior—news Hendrix had not received.

Soon after, Hendrix gets a call from Officer Billings of the local police. He tells her they have found Betty, who is physically unharmed but confused, at an old shopping plaza that was once the site of her beloved bakery, Sweet Tooth. Officer Billings firmly warns Hendrix that her mother can no longer live alone and mentions that social services may need to get involved. Back at the house, Hendrix’s Aunt Geneva arrives. Understanding the gravity of the situation, Geneva offers to move in and become Betty’s full-time caregiver, suggesting that Hendrix should remain in Atlanta to continue her career. Overwhelmed, Hendrix tearfully accepts the arrangement.
