Samenvatting:

Dark secrets enslave a handful of people in Maskwa Point, whose lives ebb and flow into each other’s daily routines.

Among them is Dr. Reid Goldberg. After having promised his grandmother as a teen that he would become a doctor saving lives, his professional work is transformed radically after a medical tour of duty in Afghanistan. He is a changed man, eventually becoming a practitioner in an abortion clinic. When his son asks hard questions about what Reid does, he must decide what’s more important: his boy or his work.

Dr. Evelyn Wall firmly believes that providing abortion services to the women of Maskwa Point is her duty, never questioning what she does until she’s faced with delivering a baby in an emergency.

Dr. Shelly Turner is a staunch feminist who is convinced her friends have ruined their lives by having babies at the wrong time. Her work providing abortions at the Lamia Health Centre ensures other women won’t have to go through that. When she unexpectedly becomes pregnant, her work environment becomes . . . awkward.

As the doctors’ fates intertwine with those of various citizens, a domino effect is set in motion that will force all of them to make tough decisions regarding their respective futures.
