Description
In 1960 North Carolina, two young women's lives are worlds apart. Ivy Hart struggles to care for her family after her parents' death, while Jane Forrester takes a position as a social worker in the Department of Public Health. As Jane becomes emotionally invested in her clients' lives, she begins to uncover secrets on the small farm where many of them live. Jane's new role puts her at odds with her husband and supervisors, who question her motives. Meanwhile, Ivy finds herself drawn into the lives of the women on the farm, including those who are deemed "unfit" for parenthood by the state. As tensions rise, both women must decide whether to take drastic action or risk losing a life-changing battle. The story of these two young women, haunted by tragedy and forced to confront difficult choices, raises questions about what it means to do right in the face of overwhelming opposition.
