The baby stirred in his blanket as the girl held him tightly to her chest. Her bare feet were frozen by the icy stone beneath them, and as she inched slowly along the roof's balcony, her body shook with fear. She wouldn't let them take her precious boy.

When the lifeless body of a nun is found beneath the Humber Bridge, Detective Hollie Turner discovers the victim, Sister Brennan, ran a local mother and baby home at the Church of St Mary and the Angels. The unit may have shut down years ago, but the heartache of those who were forced to give up their babies remains.

The case hits an emotional nerve for Hollie, who was barely twenty when she became a mother. Delving into the home's dark past, she uncovers a photograph of four girls who were there simultaneously, each with their own tragic story.

As Hollie begins to connect the dots to Sister Brennan's murder, an elderly priest is attacked in his home. Facing her most complex case yet, one rooted in decades of betrayal, can Hollie catch the killer before they strike again?
