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 among
the others. Somehow, along the forested route from West
Virginia, Sophie has disappeared.
Sophie is no ordinary 8 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,
who believes conventional medicine is the only route to
take. The only person to support Janine in her decision is
Lucas Trowell, someone familiar with the herbs used in the
treatment. Lucas has been encouraging Janine to keep
Sophie in the program, and, indeed, the little girl has
been showing remarkable improvement.
All her mother’s instincts tell Janine that Sophie is
alive, but time is running out. Without her treatment,
it’s only a matter of days before Sophie’s illness will
claim her life. As Janine, Joe and Lucas embark on a
desperate search to find Sophie, envy and suspicion grow
between the two men, casting doubts on each other’s true
motives for helping Janine.
Deep in the forest, another drama unfolds. Sophie has
found refuge in a remote cabin inhabited by a woman who
wants nothing to do with the little girl. She’s desperate
to help her own daughter, who has been wrongly imprisoned
for murder and who, after escaping, is on her way to join
her mother. Sophie’s arrival puts in jeopardy her
daughter’s future, but the mysterious woman is as
determined to save her daughter as Janine is to save
Sophie.
