Richard and Laura Paddington's good marriage broke down as she could not come to terms with the abduction of their four-year-old daughter, Zoe. Fourteen years later, she is a regular attorney and finds a new partner: Jacob Nyholm, who also lost a kid, in a support group. Then, possible missing children volunteer work brings Laura into contact with teenager Rebecca, who "exactly" fits Zoe's description, but has a very vague story. Retired FBI agent Garwin, formerly in charge of Zoe's case, is not as easily convinced as blindly eager Laura and uncovers a cynical plot.
