In 1961, Britain is on the brink of a revolution with shifting and complex moral codes in the society. One area in particular that is about to change is in the medical field - abortion is illegal and the contraceptive pill is only available to married women.

Otto and his wife are the power couple that other aspire to be, but they are hiding a secret about their marriage that, if revealed, could shatter the illusion they have created.
