At middle-age, Karin Halber discovers everything she thought she knew about her parents and her childhood is untrue.

In a chance meeting with a childhood acquaintance, Karin learns nothing could be further from the truth. Determined to find out what really happened to her parents and why they abandoned her, Karin launches her own missing-person investigation.
