In 1958, in a small Devon village, two children, playing in a boat on the river, are drowned.

She does not tell anyone that she is pregnant. Anna goes to live with Isabel, and for a time the women find solace in each other's company. But the baby's arrival opens old wounds leading, inexorably, to tragedy...
