Delia is the product of a kidnapping. Her mother is not, as her father had always claimed, dead; rather, Andrew kidnapped his own Delia when she was barely old enough to walk. Suddenly Delia's world is turned upside down. She experiences marital problems with her fiance, Eric, and learns that her father, her closest relation and friend, has been lying to her. Delia must choose between her love for her father and her desire for the truth as Andrew Hopkins is put on trial for kidnapping, and his story comes out at last.
