What happens when you discover that your glamorous movie star mother could never have given birth to you?

Olivia Croft's life is at a crossroads.

After her cooking TV show is cancelled, she's left with one hope - that she and her husband Derek will finally conceive a child. And she can forget the recent revelation that her late mother was not actually her birth mother.

But when she uncovers a cruel secret that Derek has kept throughout their eight-year marriage, her world collapses. Unable to forgive his betrayal, Olivia flees LA to the coast of Maine.

Coping with the loss of her career, her husband and her dreams, Olivia finds herself drawn to Duncan, a kindred spirit. But before Olivia can embrace a brand-new future, she will have to come to terms with the past, and face a final truth about her mother, one she never could have imagined.
