Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Family father and entrepreneur Pat does his best to let life go on as best possible after his youngest son Ben is lost in a hotel lobby, presumed kidnapped. His wife Beth however remains obsessed with the case. Vincent's plight worsens ten years later, when a recently moved-in widower's adopted son Sam is identified as Ben, and 'reunited' with a family he doesn't know at all. Yet Sam proves the key to saving Vincent from derailing. Written by KGF Vissers |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | After Pat and Beth have a fight (following Ben's disappearance), Pat goes for a ride in his car and young Vincent comes along to smooth the waters. In his hand, he plays with a cassette tape. It is the soundtrack to Grease 2 (1982), which starred Michelle Pfeiffer. See more » |
| Goofs | When Beth is in Candy's office at the police station, Candy is standing at her desk with her back to an outside window. The scene is cut about halfway through to eliminate a line that Candy must have said. The result of the cut, though, is that people walking outside (who you see through the window) appear to jump forward 10 feet or so. See more » |
