One family. Three generations. And the threads that bind them together ...

Successful TV producer Penny has always been a planner. She knows exactly what her future looks like - until an unexpected pregnancy forces her to rethink everything, especially her relationship with the baby's father.

Penny's mum Val raised her alone and always taught her daughter to be independent. But she can't understand why Penny seems intent on pushing her away now, when she needs her more than ever.

Marguerite, Val's recently widowed mother, has an idea to help heal this rift: sewing together a keepsake quilt for the baby. But as the quilt takes shape, memories surface, and the three women begin to discover more about each other than they ever could have imagined. As Christmas approaches, will they finally realise that maybe they've been looking for happiness in all the wrong places?
