Now married, although separated, she has two young sons of her own. She's what most people would call over-protective. The boys are always in her sight ... always. She knows firsthand of the danger that is all around and what can happen to young children when you lose sight for just a moment.
On the anniversary of Ben's disappearance, her worst nightmare is realized when her 2-year-old son, Will is snatched from his bed.

But who would wait 30 years to do it again? And why?

Different family members, most of them not seen or heard from in years, make an appearance. Are they actually who they say they are? Julia's old boyfriend is the lead detective on this case. Does he know more than what he's sharing? Her husband confesses that he's been seeing someone .... Could he be behind this in order to punish' her?
