Annie decides to prank her family on April Fools’ Day by getting a fake tattoo on her neck that says “Adopted Child.” She hopes it will get her mom’s attention and show her how she’s always felt second-best to her perfect sister, Beth. But when her mom sees the tattoo, her reaction is shock and fear. She denies it at first, but Annie soon discovers the truth – she is adopted.

As the family dinner unfolds, long-hidden tensions rise. Annie confronts her mom about feeling neglected and second to Beth, only to learn that her parents had kept her adoption a secret, fearing it would make her feel less loved. In a heartbreaking moment, her mom admits that they chose her, and love is what truly defines family, not blood.

The emotional revelation shakes their family, but in the end, they begin to heal and start over, with Annie finding some hope for the future.
