Susan Quinn is distracted as she’s driving through a rat run one dark January night and nearly runs elderly Mae over. Sharp-tongued and feisty, Mae sends Susan off with a flea in her ear. However, seeing Mae struggling with her shopping weeks later, Susan offers her a lift home and finds that Mae’s wicked sense of humour and no-nonsense attitude make a difficult day better. Susan adores her two girls, but she and her husband Declan have always wanted a large bustling family. Life, however, threw a spanner in the works and now fertility treatment is needed for number three. When their first round of IUI fails, Susan’s best friend Gayle is supportive. But, busy with her own young family, anything more than a hassled ten-minute conversation with her is a miracle. Mae, however, has the time to listen. The women confide in each other as Susan continues the fight for that elusive third child. Then, under stress and emotional, she impulsively begins to meddle in Mae’s past with devastating consequences. Should the past be left alone? Or does the truth really set you free?
