Child of Mine (2005): Cast, Plot & Where to Watch

Tess [Joanne Whalley] Palmer and Alfie [Adrian Dunbar] Palmer cannot have children, so they adopt two girls from a Canadian, non-state-recognised placement agency. The mother of the children was murdered two years ago. Grace [Stevie Gillespie] looks carefree, bright and fun-loving, whereas Heather [Hannah Lochner] McGill is more depressed and serious. As time goes on, Heather proves stubborn and even violent. But adoptive mother Tess does not despair, as her training as a child psychologist leads her to believe that Heather appears to have a secret. Therapy talks with a colleague bring no progress, so she decides on a daring venture - a return to the scene of the crime in the hope of getting Heather to talk.
