The photographer, during a photo session with a mother and her quadruplets, notices an eerie mark on each baby’s forehead that chills her to the bone. Despite initially dismissing the marks as stains on her camera lens, she soon realizes they are not and becomes increasingly concerned. The babies do not resemble their mother, who has black eyes and straight brunette hair, adding to the photographer’s confusion. The photographer manages to continue the session but is shaken by the discovery and later learns that the mother, Jane Fletcher, and her husband, Liam, have built a seemingly perfect life in San Francisco, but they harbor a mysterious secret.
The couple, Jane and Liam, share their emotional journey of trying to conceive and eventually giving birth to quadruplets. After discovering Jane was pregnant with four babies, they faced numerous challenges during her tumultuous pregnancy, relying on their community for support. When it came time for a professional photo shoot for the babies’ first birthday, Jane was disappointed when she learned the recommended photographer, Alex, was out of the country.
Jane, a mother of quadruplets, is in Japan seeking a photographer for her babies’ first birthday photo shoot. After receiving a recommendation from her friend Alex, Jane contacts Lucy, a photographer known for her landscapes and portraits of models. Initially disheartened, Jane clings to hope and reaches out to Lucy, who expresses interest in the shoot. Impressed by Lucy’s talent and professionalism, Jane books the session, feeling a connection with her. The photo shoot goes smoothly, with Lucy capturing the quadruplets’ personalities beautifully. However, Lucy’s financial struggles come to light, as she desperately needs the cash from the session to overcome her financial woes. This unexpected situation adds tension to the situation, but the focus remains on the successful photo shoot and the bond formed between Jane and Lucy.
Lucy, a photographer, is welcomed into Jane’s home to take photos of her quadruplets. As Lucy sets up her equipment, she is captivated by the babies’ innocence and charm. However, during the shoot, she notices a peculiar mark on one of the babies’ foreheads. Initially dismissing it, Lucy becomes increasingly concerned when she sees the same mark on all four babies’ foreheads. Panic sets in as she realizes the gravity of the situation, and she turns to Jane to inquire about the marks. Jane, too, has the same mark on her forehead, and the pieces of the puzzle begin to fall into place. Lucy, fearing the implications of the marks, leaves the shoot and heads to her father’s house to seek answers. Her mind races with questions and fears as she drives, and she arrives at her father’s house with a troubled heart, ready to uncover the secrets of the birth marks.
Lucy returns to her childhood home to confront her father about a long-held secret. She reveals that she has photos of a woman named Jane and her quadruplets, and her father’s reaction is one of shock and guilt. Lucy’s father explains that before Lucy was born, he had an affair with Jane, resulting in the birth of quadruplets. He had cut off ties with Jane, but she had kept the babies and refused to let him be involved in their lives. The revelation leaves Lucy feeling betrayed and heartbroken, but her father expresses a desire to make things right and contact Jane to make amends.
Lucy makes a plan to reveal a long-hidden secret to her sister Jane. With nerves and excitement, Lucy calls Jane and arranges to meet her at a cafe the next day. At the cafe, Lucy tells Jane about their shared past, revealing their father’s affair and the daughter born from it. Jane listens in disbelief but eventually recognizes the connection they share. The sisters embrace in a moment of acceptance and forgiveness, and Lucy realizes she has found a sister for life.
