Wealthy couple Dan and Emily have everything they want, except a baby. When Emily accidentally hits Kaya, a down-on-her-luck 18-year old, with her car, Kaya makes a surprising proposal.

Three months later, Kaya is pregnant and living comfortably at Dan and Emily’s home but starts having second thoughts about the surrogacy after a night at the club. Meanwhile, ambitious young reporter Eleanor wants to investigate a body found in the River Clyde.

Dan is tormented by the information he found out about Kaya, while Emily happily prepares for their baby’s arrival. Ahead of prom night, Kaya decides to bring her relationship with Emily’s nephew, Jack, out into the open.

Kaya recovers from the premature birth, but the baby’s future is uncertain. Dan settles into his new role as a father, while Emily fears that something isn’t right. Eleanor convinces Kaya’s mother, Siobhan, to visit, but Kaya refuses to see her or Jack.

Dan and Emily disagree about whether to take legal action when Kaya blocks their rights to have contact with the baby. Kaya grows closer to Siobhan, not realizing her involvement with Eleanor.
