Description

A missing child. A shattered family. A mother's love that knows no bounds...

1984. On board The Carousel cruise ship in the middle of the Mediterranean, two-year-old Robert vanishes from his cabin while his family sleep soundly beside him. Despite the frantic efforts of his mother Kimberly and stepfather Jason, he is never found.

2024. Lily balances a busy career as a psychotherapist with her responsibilities as a wife, mother and mediator between her divorced parents. Her older brother Robert's disappearance has cast a dark shadow over Lily's family her whole life. But when a new client, Zach, tells Lily about his shocking childhood memories of an imaginary 'other mother', Lily's belief that Robert drowned all those years ago starts to crumble. And she, Kimberly and Jason will soon have to face up to the truth of what happened on that cruise ship.

Is Zach delusional Or has someone known all along what happened to Robert
