When all seems lost, how do you hold on to hope?

For Jodi Homaune, giving up isn't an option when her daughter is abducted by the very man they'd loved and trusted-Mari's father, Kevin.

Despite the overwhelming darkness that constantly threatens to drag the mother and daughter down into despair, hope remains in their hearts. Sporadic phone conversations directed by Kevin are the only shreds of interaction between Jodi and Mari as they yearn for the comfort of each other's presence.

Clinging to the faith that God would give her the strength, help, and direction to find her missing Mari, Jodi travels to Turkey to somehow save her little girl from the crossfires of greed, betrayal, and danger.

Kevin doesn't realize that Jodi's purpose in traveling will entail more than a transfer of funds to his account as payment for a short visit with Mari. Working directly with the FBI, the mission is all up to Jodi to carry out, and one false move could determine the outcome of their safety and future together.

This true story of a mother's strength and perseverance captures the urgency of parental love when a child is in the throes of danger.
