Neva Bradley, a young midwife, has just learned that she is expecting. She's been present at the magical stages of many women's lives but she is determined to keep the details surrounding her own pregnancy hidden. And it's beginning to weigh down on everyone around her. Her mother, Grace, finds it unbearable to let the secret rest. But the more she prods about the identity of the baby's father, the more withdrawn Neva becomes. For Neva's grandmother, Floss, a retired midwife, this situation forces her to confront a memory she's managed to remain buried for over 50 years - which unnervingly mirror's her granddaughter's predicament. If revealed, it could have life-changing consequences for them all. As Neva's bump grows, it becomes harder to conceal the truth. Will each of the women reveal what has been buried for so long - or are some secrets best kept hidden?
