Description

One spring day, my beloved 3-year-old son was kidnapped.
It was our usual walk home from kindergarten.
I let go of his hand for just a blink of an eye.
When I looked back, he was gone.

Nine years later, my 13-year-old son shows up.

How do we begin to fill the void of all those years?
Once broken, can a family return to what it used to be?
What does it mean to be a mother? What does it mean to have a family?

Through a family that suffered a kidnapping, three women learn what it takes to become a mother amidst the struggles and pain.

To become a mother... To single women, this may be uncharted territory. To those in the middle of child-rearing, this is reality. To empty nesters, this is a nostalgic reminder. This drama is dedicated to all women, no matter which stage in life they're in.
