Julien (Karyo - The Patriot), the French police detective who launched the initial search for the child, also finds himself drawn back into the hunt that he was never able to resolve when Oliver first disappeared.

Exploring the emotional cost of a child's abduction, this gripping thriller is expected to become one of television and DVD's biggest titles of the year.
