Plot summary
Emma reaches a women's shelter late at night, her body marked with bruises and a pregnancy she has just discovered. Her husband Marc is the life she has left behind, and her attachment to him travels with her into the house. There she meets Khadij, Esperanza, Sascha and the children, women who are each carrying their own account of what was done to them. Their histories differ and so do their tempers, and living together is not smooth. Out of the friction between them comes a companionship, and Emma begins to weigh the marriage she fled against the person she might yet become.
