Their lives are quiet and predictable, until a sudden flood lands a strange fish on their doorstep and a travelling man who will change them forever ... 1939: Eighteen-year-old Birdie Farr is working as a barmaid in the family pub in London. When she realizes she is pregnant she turns to her mother Nellie, who asks her sister to arrange an adoption for Birdie's baby daughter. But as the years pass, Birdie discovers she cannot escape the Marsh sisters' shadowy past - and her own troubling obsession with finding her lost daughter will have deep consequences for all of them ...
