Oriana, while enjoying a vacation in Lisbon with her husband, stumbles upon a shocking revelation--a newspaper article featuring a childhood photo of herself at the age of five. The article states that she was a kidnapped child, taken from Lisbon twenty years ago.
As Oriana undergoes DNA testing, the truth unravels before her eyes. She discovers that the woman she believed to be her mother, Rhea, was not her biological parent but someone who is accused of kidnapping her. However, just as Oriana begins to question her past and seek answers, Rhea disappears after telling Oriana she had saved her from an evil man.
Driven by a relentless desire to uncover the truth, Oriana embarks on a journey to piece together the events that led to her kidnapping. Along the way, she encounters clues that suggest the existence of a man who might have been responsible for her abduction.
The narrative alternates between Oriana's perspective and Rhea's account, narrating the story of a daring escape, forged documents, and a final arrival in a small town in upstate New York. Oriana's relentless pursuit of her past takes her to unexpected places, exposing her to connections she never could have imagined.
As the truth gradually unfolds, Oriana must confront her darkest fears and decide who she can trust. Will she find solace in the arms of her newfound family, or will the shadows of her past continue to haunt her?
