Giving birth to her
first child should have been a time of happiness for
Rachel Stewart (Emily
Woof), but
joy turns to devastation with the news that her newborn
son has died during the night. Despite the doctor's
sympathetic assurances, Rachel cannot accept the news.
She had held little Charlie in her arms and he was
perfect. Could someone have abducted her
baby?
With steely
determination, Rachel returns to the hospital to uncover
the truth. As she begs Dr.Herd
(Kevin
Whateley)
for more information she encounters the menacing Dennis
Betts (Clive
Russell).
His threatening presence sends Rachel fleeing into the
car park where she finds a hiding place in the back of a
car belonging to hospital porter, Daniel Stone
(Douglas
Henshall).
Although slightly disconcerted by Rachel's panic,
Daniel's conscience eventually gets the better of him and
he agrees to help.
Together, Rachel and
Daniel begin a dangerous investigation that takes them
through London's seedy nightscape. Their only solid lead
seems to be Joanne, a young prostitute whose own baby
provides a link back to Betts. The plot thickens with the
mysterious death of Rachel's best friend and the
discovery that Dennis Betts is not all he appears to
be.
A strange twist of
fate leads them to the house of Rachel's family doctor,
Robert Barrum (Frank
Finlay). In
a tense finale Rachel makes a terrifying discovery that
brings into question everything she has ever believed
in.
