A pregnant woman, Julia Lawson, is about to sign papers for a termination when her unborn child's voice cries out for help to his grandmother, Mrs. Shaw. The grandmother acts on this plea, spotting a car she believes contains her grandson and ordering a chase. Her pursuit leads to Tim Frost, a man rumored to be the child's father, who flees to evade them. Meanwhile, Julia hesitates at the clinic, warned that terminating this pregnancy could leave her infertile, while a man pressures her about the social consequences of raising a fatherless child.
