Recently fired midwife, Elise Alden, has returned to the childhood home, and controlling mother she fled seven years ago. While struggling to deal with their rocky relationship, Elise avoids her mother at all costs, and finds herself in a park envious of the children's carefree lives. When a young woman pushing a baby stroller jogs by, Elise is reminded of Shay, a beloved patient she developed an eerie, unbreakable connection to. As the woman gets closer, Elise realizes that the baby girl lying in the stroller is not just similar to the child she helped Shay deliver two months prior, but is the very same baby. Soon Elise discovers that Shay has gone missing and can't shake the thought that something nefarious is at play. Feeling personally invested, and plagued by a sense of justice, Elise will stop at nothing to find Shay, and reunite her with her daughter. But as the search for Shay reveals unexpected twists and turns, Elise is faced with having to confront her very own dark and troubled past.
