Faced with the reality that she is dying with cancer, Victoria is confronted with the choice of telling her daughter and husband the deep, dark secret she has hidden in her heart for thirty years.
While working in an abortion clinic, Victoria has an expectant mother come in off the street after the clinic was supposed to be closed for the night. She is near hysteria, exclaiming, "I want this thing out of me. I wish it would never be born. I wish it were dead. It ruined my life." It is apparent that the mother to be is living on the street and has no means to take care of herself, much less a newborn baby.
In a split second, Victoria decides this young lady does not have to worry about caring for a child she obviously does not want in her life. Victoria gives the mother something to relax her, and a beautiful baby girl is born. When the mother comes to, Victoria explains to the mother that her baby has been stillborn and is no longer a problem to her. Relieved and overjoyed, the mother exclaims, "Bless you. Bless you. I've got my life back."
As soon as she can leave the clinic, this would-be mother is out of the clinic and on with her life. Victoria claims the beautiful baby girl as her own. Little does Victoria know the events of the evening have been caught on tape.
Claiming to be sick, Victoria never returns to the clinic and immediately moves to DC, where she has met and fallen in love with a prominent lawyer. They marry and raise Mary as their own.
Later, Victoria is confronted by the birth mother, claiming Victoria stole her baby. Victoria continues to lie and insists that the woman's child died in childbirth and that, in fact, her child was a male.
How will Victoria's life end? Will she take her lie to her grave, or will she explain to her daughter, husband, or her best friend what she did, she did out of love for her beautiful Mary? What will Victoria's choice be?
