Nina is a skilled obstetrician at a maternity hospital in Eastern Georgia. After a difficult delivery, the infant dies and the grief-racked father demands an inquiry into her methods. The resulting scrutiny threatens to bring to light Nina’s sideline —driving through the stunningly beautiful countryside to the village homes of pregnant girls and women to provide unsanctioned abortions— and to destroy the profession that is the only source of meaning in her life.
