Olivia is a young mother coping with the loss of her young autistic son. She goes to the island to separate herself from the life she led as wife and mother, and to start fresh, even as she tries to make sense of her tragedy - mainly, why was Anthony born autistic, only to live such a short life? Beth, a stay-at-home mother of three, is struggling with a separation after discovering her husband's long-term infidelity. To bring order to her tumultuous feelings, she rekindles a passion for writing, determined to find her own voice again. But curiously as she does so, Beth also find herself channeling the voice of an unknown autistic boy, exuberant in his perceptions of the world around him - a voice she can share with Olivia - is it Anthony?
