It was supposed to be the kidnappers' last job, snatching the infant of a poor single mother for an unsuspecting wealthy client. But the kidnappers grab the wrong baby-Billy, the son of high-profile bankers, Kingsley and Todd Henning-from their employer's secure daycare. Realizing their mistake, the kidnappers plant evidence to implicate the parents and dismantle their operation. No ransom call comes. Detectives, convinced the parents are guilty, interrogate relentlessly as they uncover planted evidence. The parents can't face the mosaic of guilt, blame, and despair or help each other. On day ten, they are called to the morgue. The deceased is not Billy-this time. Shaken, they recommit to each other and vow to find him themselves. They scrutinize the bank's security footage for incongruities only insiders might spot and follow the flimsiest clues into the murderous underworld of illegal adoptions. As novice detectives, they are exposed to extreme danger, skirting the law while keeping one step ahead of the villains and the police. But is it too late? Will the kidnappers eliminate all trace of the baby? Or are they no match for two angry, determined parents?
