Hallowell, Maine, 1789. The Kennebec River freezes with a man trapped in the ice, and midwife Martha Ballard is called to examine the body. Her diary records every birth and death in town, and she knows more than most about what goes on behind closed doors.

The dead man was one of two respected gentlemen accused months earlier of a crime against a local woman, and Martha wrote down the details at the time. When a doctor rules the death an accident, she keeps asking questions through a long winter as a trial approaches. Her diary ends up at the center of the case. Ariel Lawhon built the story on the real Martha Ballard and her diary.
