When an anonymous sexual encounter results in the birth of her son, Paul (Dominic Scott Kay), she is astonished to find he is even more precious to her than she had imagined.

But, when Paul reaches school age and his natural curiosity begins to draw him to the outside world, Emily knows she has to act quickly to hold on to the love of her life. -
