Academy Award winner Brenda Fricker (My Left Foot) gives a heart-rending performance as Maureen Lessing, a newly widowed wife and mother who stumbles upon a painful secret: her husband had another wife. Shattered, Maureen's quest to confront the woman brings her face to face with yet another secret: her husband's other wife had a child, a little boy. Furious and deeply hurt by her husbands betrayal, Maureen must put aside her own dark and raw emotions to confront the final issue - one she can hardly bear: that little boy is sick and needs help from her own children to survive.
