An Innocent Baby.
Cathy Glass
When foster carer, Cathy Glass, is asked to foster Darcy-May, a two-day old baby, she is very concerned. The baby is coming to her straight from hospital and will have no contact with her teenage mother, Haylea.

But fostering is rarely straight forward, and when Haylea asks to see her baby a different story begins to emerge. So horrific that even Cathy, a highly experienced foster carer struggles.
