Biomedical researcher Mara Ellison spent three years recovering from a suicide attempt after her husband Caleb Warren vanished in Australia. His best friend Julian Hayes became her partner during the fourth year. When Mara became pregnant in the fifth year, she found proof in Julian's study that Caleb had survived, built a new family with her best friend Sienna Brooks, and fathered a four-year-old daughter. Julian had known since the day he saved Mara, and her mother Helen had also concealed the truth. The revelation caused Mara to lose the pregnancy. All four confessed their long deception. Mara forgave none of them, left the city, returned to work, and continued therapy. A year later she bought white baby shoes in memory of her lost child, realizing she had rescued herself.
