Description Set in 1950s rural NZ, where childless couple Evelyn and Jimmy Davis live on a farm in the middle of nowhere. Times are tough. Financially stretched, they agree to foster a pregnant, unwed teenager, Maggie, who has been shipped 'up north' to await the north of her unplanned baby. As the baby grows, the claustrophobic isolation, paired with the community's crippling conformity gradually leads them all into a temptation that will change their lives forever.
