Synopsis: After searching for years, Raelynn Jacobs finally has hope that her father, her only blood-related relative, might still alive. He disappeared fifteen years ago after leaving for work and never returning. Raelynn has been trying to find out any information she could with her limited access and skills.

A strange package's appearance renews Raelynn's desire for answers. She reaches out to an officer who helped her a while back for help again. When he refuses, she grows concerned and is directed to an acquaintance who had helped a friend of hers. She gathers a small group of friends to assist her search.

The packages continue to arrive, but with more questions being raised than answered. Frustrated, Raelynn begins to question everything she knew about her father as more information is discovered. What would she do if the evidence pointed to a dark and criminal man instead of the good man she remembered him to be? Had she been fooled so long ago about who he really was?

The only answer was to keep going and find out for sure. But how much time did she have before everything turned upside down?

Join Raelynn in her search for belonging - both in her past and moving forward in her future.
