In 2002, a gripping incident unfolded in the life of Bobby Hernandez, a man who had other plans for his 5-year-old son, Julien. What started as a fishing trip turned into an enigmatic disappearance that left everyone baffled. Julien's mother, distraught with worry, immediately contacted the police when her little one didn't return home that evening.

Surprisingly, 14 long years passed without any sign of Julien. Until one day, everything changed with the emergence of a cryptic Reddit post claiming to be from the missing boy himself. The online confession reignited hope in Julien's family, who had never given up on finding him.

The truth gradually came to light - Julien's father had meticulously planned his abduction. For the next 15 years, they lived under new identities, leading a quiet and ordinary life. However, it wasn't until Julien started applying for college that his true identity came to the surface, igniting a determined quest to uncover the kidnapper and reclaim his own identity.
