The Encore of UsA child named Lisa has leukemia. The one treatment her doctors hold out is umbilical cord blood from a newborn, which means another baby by the same father.
The person this lands on is Lisa's mother, Amelia, who has just come out of prison after seven years. Seven years earlier Amelia had been with Noah, a musician, and the two of them meant to build a life in music together. She was trying to protect Noah from her father when she caused, by accident, her father's death. She was pregnant at the time. So that Noah would not be dragged into it and would keep his future in music, she hid the pregnancy, staged an affair so he would believe she had cheated, ended things with him, and turned herself in. She served the full seven years.
Noah in that time became a music star with an audience around the world. Amelia goes back to him without telling him about Lisa or why she has come, and they start sleeping together again.

Then Amelia's father, dead for seven years as far as anyone knew, comes back, at about the point where the misunderstandings between her and Noah have begun to clear and they are ready to talk.
