Set in Victorian Toronto, the story centers around Dolly Merishaw, a midwife and abortionist whose greed and disdain for her desperate clients breed resentment. Her murder shocks the community, but the discovery of a young boy's body in her kitchen complicates matters for Detective Murdoch, who must unravel whether one or two killers are at large. The narrative explores themes of morality, societal judgment, and the hidden lives of women seeking help in a harsh and unforgiving world.
