Based on the novels '' The Face on the Milk Carton'' and ''Whatever Happened to Janie'' by Caroline B. Cooney. A 16 year old girl sees herself at age three on a milk carton. She discovers she was kidnapped 13 years earlier by a disturbed cult member who gave the child to her unsuspecting parents to raise when she fled for parts unknown.
