About
Araceli is the live-in maid in the Torres-Thompson household, just outside Los Angeles.
One morning, after an argument between the parents which turned physical, she wakes to an empty house - except for the two sons she's never had to interact with before. Not knowing what else to do, she decides to track down their grandfather.
When Scott and Maureen return to find the children gone, they do what any right-minded middle-class parents would: they panic.
Caught in a spiral of guilt, they say things that aren't quite true - and when Araceli is accused of abduction, a national media circus explodes, causing the Torres-Thompson's carefully constructed lives to begin to fall apart . . .
