Anna (Ruth Madeley) and partner Tom (Adam Long) recently had their first baby, Danielle. At first glance there is nothing remarkable about that. However Anna has a muscle-wasting disease which confines her to a wheelchair, and Tom is partially sighted. This BAFTA award-winning drama tells the story of the agonising struggle they face to try and keep their newborn baby. Based on a real-life testimony, this emotional tale will call viewers' prejudices and beliefs into question, as we learn about a situation many disabled couples find themselves in as new parents. The parents love for their baby is unquestionable but the Social Services Department have to make a difficult decision as to Danielle's future and what is in the baby's best interest. Can Anna and Tom provide the everlasting care and attention their daughter needs or will social worker Belinda (Wunmi Mosaku) have to remove the baby and seek alternative care.
