1650: Mary Hatley, a secret healer, longs for a life far from her childhood farm. One star-strewn night, she and her forbidden love escape to London, finding solace working in an apothecary shop where she can hide her true nature.

1959: July Hathaway, once an aspiring medical student with a hidden power of healing, is now a single parent struggling in a world that disavows unwed mothers.
