Back in the mid-sixties a young Mary Adams is living in a male-dominated world with only her disagreeable Aunt Peg and assertive friend, Moira for female company. At least she has her boyfriend, Roddy to make her happy, despite what others say about him. But then Mary finds herself pregnant and her whole world implodes. Betrayed by the men in her life she has to turn to her scathing aunt for help.
As the present begins to reveal the past so Abi and Stephen start to fear they perhaps should have left well enough alone, but how can they stop looking for answers now. The truth must be out there, but will it bring brother and sister closer together, or will it drive them apart?
