A wealthy young mother, Charlotte, and her eight-year-old daughter Sweetie are caught in a tragic carriage accident. Sweetie lies bleeding in her mother's arms, desperately calling for her father — a renowned physician.

Devastated and betrayed, Charlotte discovers her husband's long-standing affair.
