Synopsis

Norah’s grieving for her baby girl, Phoebe, who died in childbirth. In another city, another woman raises Norah’s little girl as her own.

It’s 1964 and a blizzard is blowing outside the small-town surgery where Dr. David Henry finds himself delivering Norah's twins. Relieved, he sees that his son is born healthy, but recognises the signs of Down’s Syndrome in his daughter’s face. In a split-second decision that will haunt their family forever, he asks the nurse, Caroline, to take his daughter away.

As his wife mourns the missing piece in their apparently perfect lives, can David prevent his painful secret from pulling his family apart?
