Carly is pregnant but her baby has a fatal heart defect. Her brother-in-law knows how to fix this: travel from 1970 to a future time where fetal surgery will save her child’s life.

Two women, mothers, traveling through time with the life of a child hanging in the balance and a gut-wrenching dilemma hanging over their heads.
