When three very different women - each burdened with a private grief - fight over an unplanned child, they are forced to confront the hopes, heartbreaks, and impossible choices of motherhood.
At seventeen, Kendra Dawson's rich and care-free life is derailed by an unplanned pregnancy that her ambitious mother - who is running for election to the US Senate - refuses for political reasons to let her terminate. Kendra attempts to raise her child, Oron, on her own, but five years later - with no money and a life spiraling out of control - she struggles to give him the care he needs and deserves.
Lynn Short - an English woman in self-imposed exile - works for the family as a personal assistant to the patrician Russell Dawson III. Still grieving the loss of her disabled young child in England, she steps in to help Kendra, but she is soon captivated by Oron and begins to dream that he might offer her a second chance of motherhood.
When Kendra reconnects with Oron's father - who is struggling to rebuild his life after time in prison - she is caught off guard when he bonds with the son he has never known. The father resolves to assert his parental rights by suing for custody of Oron. In that effort he is supported by his sister, Maddie, a paralegal who harbors her own dreams of becoming a mother.
As Kendra, Lynn, and Maddie jostle for first place in Oron's life and to win the right to take him home, long‑buried secrets rise to the surface. Each woman is forced to face up to the wounds she carries, as well as the truths of what it means to be a mother.
