Two familys' lives are turned upside down when a mother recognises her daughter, Alice, who was kidnapped from a beach over 10 years earlier, and who was generally assumed to have drowned.

Spending a day on the beach with their children, a misunderstanding between David Hooper and his wife Sarah leads to their 4 year-old daughter Alice 'Ali' getting lost, presumed drowned but no corpse was found. Eleven years later the mother is still obsessed by the trauma, while David, whose good job affords them a fine lifestyle, urges they should enjoy life with their two lovely school age kids, Sean and Jasmine. Sarah gets arrested for harrowing decent laborer Steven Taylor whose daughter Lori is the next in a line she recognized over these years 'for sure' as Ali, but this time a cop whose son Jamie is then four pushes the case and to everyone's surprise gets mother Joanna Taylor to confess a secret which changes everything.—KGF Vissers
