Eloise-adopted daughter of Ruth and John-is turning 18. It is her happiest day. The family throws her a wonderful party and gives her lots of great gifts. However, it is also a day that changes her life. After the party is over, she overhears her parents' conversation, at which she learns that she is not their biological daughter as she thought. John and Ruth discuss Harper, who, their daughter learns, is a surrogate, Eloise's biological mother, with whom contact was severed years ago. Eloise is distraught; she has spent her entire life in a lie. The next evening she writes a letter to her parents, who she informs that she intends to find her real mother herself. That same evening she disappears. Ruth and John are horrified when they find only the letter in the morning. Fearing for their daughter, they decide to find her. When they call, Eloise does not answer. They have to find not only Eloise, but also Harper.
