The story takes place in the UK in 1950. The war caused great damage to the city. Amid the chaos, a woman named Vera (played by Imelda Staunton) managed to live a peaceful and stable life with her husband and children. On the surface, Vera seems to be a cleaning lady, but a secret is deeply hidden in her heart. In her spare time, Vera would help women who were pregnant during the war to have abortions through the operating room provided by her friend Lily (portrayed by Ruth Sheen), an act that was illegal in Britain at that time. The addition of Reggie (played by Eddie Marsan) has brought another layer of joy to Vera's family. His wedding to Vera's daughter Essel (played by Alex Kelly) has cast a shadow of happiness on everyone's faces. While the wedding was in progress, the door was knocked on. However, what came was not friendly blessings but the arrest by the police, and Vera's actions were made public.[Collapse]
