Melissa steps away from her four-year-old for only a few minutes to grab a sandwich in a hospital cafeteria. When she returns to the room, the little girl is gone. Police lock down the building and search the grounds, but there is no ransom demand, no body, and no sign of where she went. Detectives suspect the child was taken by traffickers. Melissa refuses to accept that. Driven by a mother's determination, she travels to Mexico to hunt for her daughter and comes face to face with a dangerous cartel. Years pass and the search grows harder. Then, twelve years later, a pair of unmistakable eyes looks out at her from a passing van. Is it her child? This psychological thriller follows a desperate mother and a lost girl as they try to find their way back to each other.
