On Coronation Day in 1953, Molly Heywood notices that her friend Cassie has failed to attend the village celebration. She finds evidence of a sudden and disturbing departure, and Cassie’s six-year-old daughter Petal has disappeared with her.

Molly travels to London and begins reconstructing the life Cassie concealed from their neighbours. The search moves through boarding houses, institutions and relationships shaped by post-war poverty, forcing Molly to decide whom she can trust before Petal is placed beyond recovery.
