Learning of her kidnapping that happened over 8 years ago, they set off to save her. Now with new knowledge of how a rogue Klingon took the children, the Enterprise has faced one of it's most difficult challenges yet. Taking the lost girl under their wing seemed like the logical thing to do, but what happens when they come across several more similar distress calls of the same nature?
