The two of them are happy together, although frustrations arise the longer they try for a child that never comes.
But then, one day, a boat washes up on the shore of their little island. In it, lies a dead man - and a crying baby.

Faced with an impossible decision, Tom and Izzy do what they think is right and follow their hearts. What happens next will break yours.
