Attorney Beth Scott has the perfect life. Living in New York, she has married the handsome and caring Dr. Brandon Burton, and the two of them have an infant daughter, Abbey.
Beth is grateful for everything she now has. Two years ago, a vicious attack nearly ended her life, and the only thing harder than the physical recovery was her psychological journey back to wellness.
But Beth's world is shattered when she learns that Abbey has been kidnapped. The nanny took her to a park, and in the instant she looked away, Abbey vanished.
Beth knows exactly whom to call: the two detectives who investigated the assault against her. Walter Stevens and Robert Matthews take the case, but they don't get a call demanding a ransom. Instead, they hear from the FBI. There is an ongoing investigation into a baby-trafficking ring, and the FBI believes Abbey's disappearance is linked to this crime syndicate. With this lead, Beth begins an investigation of her own. She welcomes the work of the FBI and the detectives who have thoroughly earned her trust, but with so little evidence in Abbey's case, will even these resources be enough?
