Ireland, West Coast. When Janet Whelan leaves her husband shortly before their daughter is born, gossip spreads quickly through the small coastal village of Killgarry. Despite Janet's determination to prove herself as a single mother, a chance encounter with Dylan Stewart, a married man, leads to further grief. Trapped in this new relationship, she allows herself to be manipulated, even putting Dylan's interests before her daughter's. In this hate, rather than love story, Janet struggles to break out-a struggle which takes far longer than anyone would ever have anticipated. How thin is the line between love and hate? Where does it begin...and how does it end?
