Midwife Noni Frost needs a miracle. Among the white gums of the NSW northern rivers, Rivertown Hospital's maternity unit is under threat and will close unless a new obstetrician is hired to share the on-call load.
When Iain McCloud and his pregnant teenage daughter, Jacinta, arrive in town to await the birth of Jacinta's baby, Noni's stressed but that doesn't stop the sparks from flying between her and Iain as they disagree on everything from pain relief to breastfeeding.
When Noni's young son, Harley, goes missing, everything comes to a head. With lives at risk, Noni and Iain must draw on all their strength and work together. Can they save those closest to them?
