Molly has spent all eight years of her life trapped with the cruel Mills household, where hunger, fear, and punishment are part of every day. After they abandon her in a winter storm, she notices a poster beside the rubbish for Ella Hartley, a child who disappeared years ago. The girl in the picture bears the same star mark on her arm. Molly reaches out, and Ethan Hartley arrives through the snow, certain he has finally found his lost daughter. A DNA result confirms the impossible truth: Molly is Ella, the wealthy Hartley family's kidnapped child. When the people who abused her come pleading at her doorstep, the girl they discarded is ready to make them answer for every wound they caused.
