Die Welt vor 40.000 Jahren. Ein besonders strenger Winter hat die letzte Sippe der Neandertaler hart getroffen, nur wenige haben überlebt. Unter ihnen auch „Mädchen“, die älteste Tochter. Nun bricht die Familie auf zu dem jährlichen Treffen, um einen geeigneten Partner zu finden. Doch die raue und unwirtliche Natur fordert ihren Tribut. „Mädchen“ und „Kümmerling“, ein Bastard ungewisser Herkunft, bleiben allein zurück. Als die Zeit der Winterstürme naht, erkennt Mädchen, dass es nur eine Möglichkeit gibt, ihr Volk zu retten, auch wenn sie dafür ein großes Opfer bringen muss. In der Jetztzeit arbeitet die schwangere Archäologin Rosamund fieberhaft daran, neue Neandertal-Artefakte zu bergen, bevor ihr Kind auf die Welt kommt. Über Jahrtausende verbunden durch gemeinsame urweibliche Erfahrungen, geht die Geschichte beider Frauen zentralen Themen im Leben aller Frauen auf den Grund.
