In the unforgiving heart of Somalia - a country the United Nations had deemed, "the most lawless place on Earth" - Lorinda Stewart’s daughter is kidnapped, held for ransom, and threatened with execution. Driven by an unwavering maternal instinct, Lorinda embarks on a harrowing 460-day mission to do what the Government ultimately won't: bring her daughter home.
Guided by a team of top specialists, Lorinda navigates a treacherous political landscape of bureaucratic red tape and institutional differences, seamlessly transforming herself into a bonafide secret agent. Through sheer determination and an intuitive understanding of her daughter's captor, Lorinda forges an unlikely bond, risking everything to orchestrate the impossible: a daring rescue, extracting her daughter from the hands of a terrorist organization, that will test the limits of her courage and the strength of a mother's love.
