Between heaven and hell…

Georgina Whitely has always loved children. Once a pediatric nurse at the Sydney Harbour Hospital, she has since retrained to be a midwife. The joy and excitement of helping to deliver babies never fails to bring a smile to her face, but her job is far from easy.

Ward Seven of the Sydney Harbour Hospital is where pregnant, drug addicted women go to have their babies. It’s Georgie’s job to not only manage the births, but also to manage the addictions. It breaks her heart to watch tiny newborns suffering from the harsh effects of withdrawal from drugs and alcohol. They scream and twitch and whimper in their sleep and she’s sure they can’t help but wonder why life is so darn difficult. And then there’s the stress of dealing with their mothers…

But, despite the emotional and physical upheavals a day on Ward Seven can bring, Georgie loves her job and she’s good at it. The new mothers look up to her and respect her; they want to keep her close. But babies are dying on Ward Seven and nobody can figure out why…

Just when Detective Sergeant Cameron Dawson thinks his life is back on track, his kid sister, Cynthia, arrives on the scene. Having spent years putting his troubled childhood behind him, Cameron discovers his sixteen-year-old sister has not only run away from home, she’s also just given birth. Unable to abandon her a second time, Cameron agrees to visit. When he arrives at Ward Seven of the Sydney Harbour Hospital, he’s greeted by a midwife who introduces herself as Georgie Whitely. Pulling him aside, Georgie informs him Cynthia’s baby has died.

Shocked and saddened, Cameron invites his sister to move in and does his best to help her through her grief. Within a fortnight, he hears of another sudden infant death on Ward Seven and he can’t help but compare the similarities to the death of Cynthia’s child. The hospital staff are putting them down to tragic and unexplainable deaths, but Cameron isn’t sure if he’s convinced.

Is that all it is, or is something far more sinister at play? And what in the world does it have to do with Georgie Whitely…?
