Plant ID help

When we bought this place 2 years ago, this odd little "shrub" was coming up in the center of a densely planted bed that is mostly shade all day long. There are multiple trunks (most that have died off) coming up from the ground with no evidence of a larger tree having been cut back to the ground, so I assume


it is a shrub. Since my predecessor was a Master Gardener, neighbors tell me, I assume it is an ornamental or specimen that was planted with intent, but it isn't tagged. Bark is dark, warm brown and slick and it is deciduous, just leafing out this month. For lack of sunlight, it has never bloomed or berried, nor do I know if it should be producing anything. I'm almost certain I've seen this leaf somewhere in my lifetime but I do not think this is scrub brush. Leaf looks like Bridals Wreath and they stay very small throughout spring/summer. Any thoughts on what this is and do you think it looks healthy enough to put out the effort to move it to a new, sunnier location?
