Nick Fallin and Laurie Solt take on the responsibility of finding a home for a teenager, Betsy Fortunato, and her baby girl when her father is accused of killing her invalid mother who suffers from Huntington’s disease. When Nick and Laurie find out that the mother’s brain damaging disease is hereditary, it puts Betsy and her child’s future in jeopardy and they soon learn things are not really what they seem. Meanwhile, Nick and Lulu’s friendship becomes strained when Brian Olsen, Lulu’s husband, comes under fire for losing a patient during a routine surgery and Nick is employed by the hospital to look into the case.
