Something evil is happening in the small sleepy, isolated fishing village of Jasper's Point. A nun has ran away; a young girl leaves her family with a boy they disapprove of; a newlywed refuses to give up hope after her husband's ship is lost to sea, a widow yearns for a wife whom is not his to hold and a man of the cloth can not be trusted. Anne Whyte, the town midwife knows all and is a fierce protector of her clients and their secrets; however, even Anne has a past, which happened long before she started sneaking into the convent under cover of night. Mother Superior trusts Anne to do the right thing, or will Anne have to leave the place she has come to call home to avoid being exposed?
