Marys daughter Frances also falls prey to these crimes. Can they find this man in time to spare the other young women in the community?

Thirty years later, and Frances and her husband live in Hillcrest View, the Richardsons family home. It is here that a mothers worst nightmare occurs the unsolved disappearance of her child Steven.

Susanne, her widowed daughter, has challenges of her own with a new beau, who may not be all he seems. Frances, despite her fleeting grip on reality, cannot let the past hurts go. What happened to her son?
