Avery and Andrew have been best friends since middle school; they're close. But they're about to get a whole lot closer when paired up for the project like no other: the baby project.

Charlotte's father works for the government-she's seen enough troubled children to last her a lifetime. When a picture of a boy, who'd been missing for seventeen years, surfaces in a local store...everything changes. Kidnapped just hours after his birth, Jasper's captor held him hostage in the cellar of her home for seventeen years. He is found and rescued by none other than Jack Chandler, Charlotte's father. Right away, he's slapped with a label: a lost cause. Therapists turn him away when he fails to meet ends with them. The perpetual search for his parents hits countless dead ends. Just when everyone's seemed to give up on him, Charlotte takes matters into her own hands. She makes it her goal to save him, no matter the consequences.
