Each year, the start of summer brings bustle and tourist dollars to Albany Beach, Delaware. For Natalie Sullivan, this season is proving more stressful than others. It's make-or-break time for the Irish pub her husband, Conor, recently bought with his brothers. Their two children are thriving, but she's experiencing pangs of loss at the end of her childbearing years. When 16-year-old McKenzie starts gushing about Bella, a coworker at her summer job, Natalie finds her past and present in conflict. Bella, two years older than McKenzie, looks so similar that a customer remarks that they could be sisters. And when Natalie learns that Bella was adopted, she is propelled back into a heartbreaking decision. As a college student, Natalie became pregnant and put her baby up for adoption. Now, the more McKenzie talks about Bella, the more Natalie wonders: could Bella be her daughter?
