Eight-year-old Sophie Donohue just wanted to be like
every other little girl. Which is why her mother, Janine,
reluctantly agreed to let her go on the weekend camping trip
with her Brownie troop. But when Janine arrives to pick up
Sophie after the trip, her daughter is not with the others.
Somehow, along the forested route from West Virginia, Sophie
has disappeared.
But Sophie is no ordinary
eight-year-old. She suffers from a rare disease, and Janine
has recently enrolled her in an experimental treatment as a
last effort to save her life—despite the vehement objections
of her ex-husband, Joe. Without her medication, Sophie
cannot survive long. All her mother's instincts tell Janine
that Sophie is alive, but time is running out.
Deep
in the Virginia forest, another drama unfolds. Sophie finds
refuge in a remote cabin inhabited by Zoe, a woman who wants
nothing to do with the child. Zoe is struggling to save her
own daughter from the law, and Sophie's presence jeopardizes
any chance of that happening. She is as determined to save
her daughter as Janine is to save Sophie…and only one of
them can succeed.
