A synopsis of the plot from Circle Theatre's web page is as follows:

Sometimes the right decision isn’t clear, and the clear decision isn’t right. Caroline, a veteran social worker, swears to protect baby Luna Gale, but her mission may be motivated by a hidden agenda. Produced in association with Theatre TCU, Rebecca Gilman’s captivating and suspenseful play forces us to ask: does the end always justify the means?

There were times the play was a tad funny, but some scenes were heart-breaking leaving one with nagging doubt as to whether the decision about the young child's life would come about in order to achieve a happy conclusion. It was a tad of a surprise at the end!

 We have seen several actors in this play in other productions around the Fort Worth area and they always give amazing performances - and this play is no exception!
