Paul Theus is a respectable middle-class professor until his peaceful world is shattered as we find out from the first line: “No parent prepares for a child to be taken.”

Beware of strangers and watch out for the big bad wolf kids are told, but what if a family unit is smoldered from within by a mother? Paul found the note that his wife was leaving for awhile tucked in a book about the Jon Bonet Ramsey child murder.

The Bohemian mother Anne Theus inflames the threat posed by the idea that it takes the village court to raise a child.

Do the courts really act in the best interest of the children?

Parents plan for their children’s home, school, clothes, food, and happiness but once the Theus' five-year daughter is kidnapped we are barraged by conflict for over three years until the terminal end.
