Amy “Angie” Nelson was ten when she was rescued from the famed “Dyna Girl Kidnapping.” In the final days of her kidnapping, Amy’s father, Louis, discovered her whereabouts, but was killed by her abductor— her own mother, Cassandra. Eighteen years later, Cassandra sits in prison, and damaged Amy lives a hermetic life, shunning relationships with everyone but those closest to her—her maternal grandfather and her therapist.

Wanda Greene is an attorney working on Cassandra’s behalf. When she locates Amy and notifies her of Cassandra’s upcoming parole hearing, she hopes that Amy will speak on her mother’s behalf and secure her release. Doubtful of mother’s purported “rehabilitation,” Amy reluctantly agrees to reconnect with Cassandra and make her own determination… and maybe reexamine the reasons for her abduction. As Amy is pressured to decide her mother’s fate, the narrative flashes back to the summer of 1999.

The last months of Amy’s kidnapping are relayed through the eyes of young Amy, a homeless child sheltered from the world by her mother’s imaginative lies. Little by little, painful revelations emerge, and Amy must once again ask herself, “Who is my mother?”
