The film follows two infants swapped at birth. Years later a girl falls gravely ill; tests reveal she isn’t the daughter of the couple who raised her, and she later dies. The grieving mother searches for her biological child, suspecting a widower is raising her. The widower’s lawyer cautions him that cooperating could mean losing the only child he has.
