In 1972, seven-year-old Steven Stayner vanishes from Merced, California. His family struggles to keep his case in the public eye, until his heroic return seven years later sparks a media sensation.
A televised family reunion follows a heroic escape, but the Stayner ordeal is far from over as painful secrets surface. When a hit TV movie rewrites the Stayner story, reality gets stranger than fiction.
Two decades after Steven went missing near Yosemite, three tourists vanish from the same area. When the FBI find the killer, the Stayner family is linked to the new, horrifying crimes and the family is thrust back into the headlines.
