Eilis Lacey is visited at home by a man who claims his wife is pregnant with her husband Tony's child. The man also claims that he plans to deposit the child on her doorstep when it is born. As the due date approaches and her mother-in-law makes plan to raise the child, Eilis returns to her native Ireland and begins a romance with her former boyfriend.

3.5 stars.
