Ellen is a single mother to her three-year old adopted son, Will. As she goes to collect her post one morning, she picks up a 'Missing Child' card, and is struck by the resemblance between Will and the little boy, Timothy Braverman, who was kidnapped from his home in Miami two years ago. Not only was Timothy kidnapped, but his childminder was killed. As she searches further, something niggles at Ellen, and she begins to delve into the story of Will's birth mother, and uncover a horrendous story that, as the novel goes on, has far reaching consequences.
