Kate Seton returns to her parents’ farm after many years’ estrangement, with her young daughter. As she begins building a new relationship with her family, she is shocked to meet Silas Edwards who is running a government facility nearby. What he does not know, nor her parents, is that Kate’s daughter is his, and that her pregnancy was the reason why Kate had fled to London on her own years ago.
