It's 1934, St. Louis, Missouri. Pamela, outwardly a young, white socialite (but inwardly an unsettled late adolescent), is about to give birth to a first child. To assist in the delivery, she seeks the 'colored' midwife, Miss Minnie, who attended her own birth in 1911. Her and her husband's families won't allow it. During her pregnancy, Frank, her husband, even recruits relatives to monitor Pamela's whereabouts. Deviously, Pamela sidesteps them. She pressures her 'colored' maid to help. What kind of calamity and racial tension will their search dredge up? Could the outcome be murder?
