7 episodesOn air since
A highway pileup monopolizes every surgical team but one, leaving Tessa hemorrhaging as her unborn son's heart fails. Down the corridor, her husband Colin directs the sole available surgeons toward his mistress Paige — Tessa's oldest friend — and Paige's newborn. Tessa's own mother and brother strong-arm the staff into obeying Colin's demand. Surgeons save Tessa by removing her uterus; her son arrives stillborn. The disposition paperwork for her baby is dated hours before his birth. Twelve years earlier Tessa was trafficked and Paige took her place in that family, a history that silenced every dispute until this loss. Tessa pulls her IV, signs herself out, and calls the boy who shared that cellar, now a man who abandons an international stage to reach the hospital roof within hours. Six months later she runs a pottery shop, holds a divorce filing, and faces a final reckoning on a rain-slick hotel plaza where a fire department bullhorn exposes whose hands were on her IV that night.
