As the mystery grows, Elisa realizes that her daughter has been taken, and a manhunt is started across Europe. The public turns its attention to her family, and Elisa and her husband, Fred, become famous. The media storm starts to reveal hidden secrets in Elisa's life.
Lucia's disappearance is being looked into, and it brings up some troubling questions. From why Rebecca specifically targets Lucia to finding the reason for her actions, the viewers are yet to get the answer. As the show goes on, Elisa starts to wonder if Lucia would have been safer if she had stayed hidden.
In a nutshell, it's the tale about being a mother, feeling guilty, and the very real emotional journey of a parent whose child has been taken away. As Elisa's search for answers gets stronger, she confronts painful truths about her family and the people around her.
