It's 1950 in Edinburgh and Maggie - three months pregnant and having been thrown out of her family home - is beginning her desperate struggle to survive. She works and suffers abuse and humiliation. Cut to present-day, Maggie's son Tom and his series of visits to his mother's care home. He knows nothing of what really happened during those very early years. Maggie suffers from dementia and keeps reliving episodes in her tragic story, betraying what she had kept secret for so long, and brining Tom to a distressing but life-affirming realisation.
