However, the woman who greets her at the door is an unfamiliar face, neither the loving mother she expects nor the trusted nanny. Alarm bells ring as she's informed that Milo is nowhere to be found, thus unraveling the harrowing nightmare that every parent dreads of.

With a stellar lineup of executive producers, including Nigel Marchant, Gareth Neame, and Joanna Strevens of esteemed Carnival Films—the visionary minds behind "The Day of the Jackal," "Lockerbie," and the globally adored "Downton Abbey"—alongside Jennifer Gabler Rawlings, Christine Sacani, and producer Terry Gould, this tale promises to be nothing short of captivating.
