David and Cheryl Burroughs are living the dream - married, a beautiful house in the suburbs, a three year old son named Matthew - when tragedy strikes one night in the worst possible way.
David awakes to find himself covered in blood, but not his own - his son''s. And while he knows he did not murder his son, the overwhelming evidence against him puts him behind bars indefinitely.
Five years into his imprisonment, Cheryl''s sister arrives - and drops a bombshell.
She''s come with a photograph that a friend took on vacation at a theme park. The boy in the background seems familiar - and even though David realizes it can''t be, he knows it is.
It''s Matthew, and he''s still alive.
David plans a harrowing escape from prison, determined to do what seems impossible - save his son, clear his own name, and discover the real story of what happened that devastating night.
