Synopsis
In 2017, a discovered letter sends Angela Creighton on a search that unearths the secret history of "Jane," an underground abortion network in 1970s Toronto. The story follows three women across different decades: a teenager forced to give up her child in 1971, who later becomes a provider for Jane; a young woman in 1980 facing an unexpected pregnancy and seeking help from the network; and the modern-day searcher piecing together their stories. It's a powerful look at choice, community, and the enduring impact of secrets.
