A paroled mother unknowingly becomes nanny to her presumed-dead daughter.
Grace served time for another's crime and was informed her newborn daughter died in custody. Years later, she accepts a nanny position for Luna, the mute child of a formidable New York Don who suffers physical revulsion toward women. The Don's condition originated after his mother and fiancée drugged him four years prior. Luna, who rejects all strangers, immediately bonds with Grace, creating a covert connection neither adult understands. Grace navigates the household unaware that the child she tends is the one she lost, while the Don observes an inexplicable tolerance for her presence.
