When Ben, the youngest member of the family, is kidnapped with no trace to be found. Nine years later, everything is about to change when they find him living in the new town they have just moved to.

Every parent’s worst nightmare, their child being taken away and never being able to find them again. That is what happens one day to Beth when attending an event, as her son Vincent takes no notice to watch his younger brother, and the worst happens: Ben is gone. Searching everywhere, no one had seen anything, and the police don’t really have much hope for finding the young boy.
Nine years pass and the family moves to a new town, and it’s then all a little bit strange when Sam shows up living not far from them, and Beth thinks it’s Ben. Especially when they had mock-up images of what he could possibly look like now, and that is spot on. The issue, though? Sam is quite happy in his life with his father, or the person he thought was his father.
This creates a truly dramatic reunion, as this was supposed to be a good thing – finding their son again. But Beth and Pat are about to find out that it really isn’t as straightforward as that. This is when the film actually draws out some interesting narrative, as Ben, now Sam, actually had a good upbringing despite the fact he had been taken away from his real family, and he was just, quite frankly, confused, considering he did not know these people and his siblings.
I guess an issue with this film was that it took me about 45 minutes into it until I remembered I had seen it before and just shows it wasn’t overly memorable as I actually couldn’t recall the ending. However, it does produce good performances from Michelle Pfeiffer, Treat Williams, and Jonathan Jackson. Whoopi Goldberg in a supporting role was probably the reason I watched it for the first time.
