A single mother’s desperate attempt to protect her daughter from potential danger draws them into a web of secrets and hidden identities—raising the haunting question: how far is too far when a parent is fighting to keep their child safe?
When Laura first fell for Steven, she believed she’d finally found the life she’d always longed for. But after an unexpected pregnancy, the distant, simmering anger she’d once brushed aside in him becomes impossible to ignore. The birth of their daughter Amanda is a dream come true for Laura—until a violent outburst sends her fleeing to the safety of her affluent parents' home.
As Laura navigates a tense and uneasy co-parenting arrangement, subtle changes in her daughter’s behavior suggest that Steven’s connection to Amanda may not only be strained, but sinister. Consumed with the need to protect her child, Laura flees across the border into Canada after a court disagrees with her suspicions—leaving the FBI and a grieving father in pursuit.
A mother's love and a father’s anguish have left a trail of frayed lives and fractured hearts. But the devastating consequences of a young child’s attempt to take matters into her own hands reunites her parents as they struggle to make their daughter whole again.
"A realistic, gripping portrayal of family, trust, and the value of self-improvement."
