En Lexington, Kentucky, año 1964, acaba de empezar una extraña y repentina tormenta de invierno que ha cubierto todo el paisaje con un manto de nieve. El doctor David Henry lleva a su mujer Norah a la consulta para dar a luz. Con la ayuda de su enfermera Caroline, podrá atender el parto de su primer hijo, Paul. Inesperadamente, Norah da a luz también a otra criatura, Phoebe, en quien David reconoce inmediatamente los síntomas del síndrome de Down. En secreto, David entrega a la niña a Caroline junto con una nota indicando el hogar donde quiere que la envíe. Entonces se gira hacia la Norah y le dice: 'La pequeña ha muerto al nacer'.
