In a remote village of northwestern post-Revolution Romania, Ovidiu Todoran, a poor subsistence farmer, is murdered. His 19-year old pregnant daughter, Tatiana, is missing. Whisked away to Bucharest by her wealthy American lover, Kenton Farraday, Tatiana dreams of a future full of the love and riches she has seen on American television. Instead, Tatiana is kept a virtual prisoner in the Farraday family's large, but hostile Bucharest home. A search for her and her father is conducted in her village, but the case eventually goes cold. From the quiet country roads of poverty-stricken 1991 Romania to the bustling streets of St. Louis, Missouri, in 2016, this story takes you on a journey in which deception, manipulation, bribery, and corruption are woven into a page-turning mystery that will leave you on the edge of your seat.
